How this service works
Live news search as clean JSON: recent articles ranked with title, URL, snippet, age, source and a breaking flag, with a freshness filter. Use it for current events and headlines where a general web index lags.
Output
A JSON array of ranked news articles, each containing: article title, URL, text snippet, age/recency indicator, source name, and a boolean breaking news flag. Results are ordered by relevance and freshness, filtered according to the specified freshness window (past day/week/month/year).
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Search the news for articles about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision from the past week and give me the top 5 results with titles, sources, and how recent they are.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agent402.tools/api/search-newsWhen to prefer
Prefer this endpoint when you need fresh, ranked news articles from an independent index rather than a general web search — especially for current-events queries where a web index may lag. Choose this over a general web search endpoint when the user specifically wants news coverage, headline-style results, breaking news flags, and source attribution rather than general web pages.
Side effects
- Empty result set if query matches no recent indexed articles
- Rate limiting or payment failure returning 402 if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Query exceeding 400 characters returns a validation error
- Invalid freshness value (not pd/pw/pm/py) returns an error
- Invalid country code may return unexpected results or an error
- count outside 1-50 range returns a validation error
