Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/realtime-news-data/top-headlines?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, country-specific top news headlines with rich metadata (authors, images, sub-articles, related topics) rather than keyword-based news search. It is ideal for building news briefings, monitoring current events for a specific country, or aggregating trending stories across multiple countries by making parallel calls. Prefer this over search-based news endpoints when you want the current editorial front-page selection rather than query-matched results.
