Google News API Alternative
Google News API was a powerful tool that enabled developers to access a wide range of news-related articles for various purposes. However, in May 2011, Google decided to shift its focus towards other services, leading to the discontinuation of its News API.

We have over 70,000 trusted news sources from around the world, and are happy to add any you want to track.
More Complete Data
The data provided by Google News API was restricted to title, link, and text excerpt, lacking critical details such as the author's name, publication date, full article text, media URL and a plethora of NLP enrichments that NewsCatcher offers.

Here’s How We Do It
Custom scheduler
Our API uses a tailored scheduling system that predicts and adapts to the publication frequency of different news sources, ensuring timely data retrieval without overwhelming the sites.
Website Crawling
We employ sophisticated crawlers that navigate and collect data from a vast array of news websites, gathering up-to-date content around the clock.
Data Extraction
Our system extracts relevant information from raw data using advanced techniques to pull precise details such as headlines, content, and metadata from each site.
Consolidation, dedpulication and mapping.
Extracted data undergoes consolidation to unify similar information, deduplication to remove redundancies, and mapping to structure the data effectively for further processing.
Data cleaning
We refine the data by removing noise and correcting errors, ensuring high-quality, reliable content that meets our stringent standards.
NLP Processing
Utilizing state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing, our API analyzes and interprets the text for deeper insights, sentiment analysis, and summarization.
Clustering
Articles are clustered based on similarity in content and context, which simplifies navigation and enhances the searchability of information.
Advanced Filtering
Our advanced filtering techniques apply multiple layers of criteria to ensure that only the most relevant and accurate data reaches our clients.
Building custom solutions
We collaborate with clients to develop bespoke solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing systems, tailored specifically to their unique requirements and challenges.
