Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/realtime-news-data/topic-headlines?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need categorized, real-time news headlines aligned to Google News topic buckets (World, Sports, Technology, Business, Health, Science, Entertainment, National) or want to filter by country and language. Prefer it over search-based news endpoints when you want curated topic-level aggregation rather than keyword search results.
Side effects
- Invalid or unsupported topic enum value returns a 400 or empty result
- Unsupported country code or language code may return an empty dataset or default-language results
- Requesting more than 500 articles (limit > 500) returns a validation error
- Payment/authentication failure returns a 402 or 401 response
- Network timeout if the upstream Google News scrape is slow
