How this service works
86 APIs for AI agents: web scraping and crawling to Markdown, AI summaries, data extraction and cited answers, screenshots and PDF, PDF, OCR and document conversion, news, paper and developer search and more, paid per call with USDC on Base, Solana, Polygon or Arbitrum via x402. No account, no API key, free sample on every service.
Output
A JSON object containing the search query echo, a list of articles (each with title, URL, source name, snippet, and ISO 8601 publication timestamp, plus a relevance score for HN items), the total number of articles found, and the list of sources queried (e.g. Hacker News, BBC News).
Example use cases
Monitoring competitor product launches
“Search for recent news about Anthropic Claude, limit to 20 articles in the tech category, so I can track what they've been announcing lately.”
Daily business briefing for an executive
“Pull the top 10 business news stories from today so I can put together a morning briefing on what's moving the markets.”
Research background on a health topic
“Find me up to 25 recent news articles about CRISPR gene therapy breakthroughs — use the science category — I'm putting together a research summary.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agentsvc.io/api/v1/proxy/news-search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need fresh, keyword-searchable news articles with source attribution and publication timestamps, especially for tech/developer news (Hacker News) or general/business/health/science/politics coverage (BBC). It is ideal for agents that need to pull structured current-events data without managing API keys or news provider subscriptions. Prefer it over web scraping when you want pre-parsed article metadata rather than raw HTML.
Side effects
- Empty results if query matches no indexed articles in the selected category
- Category mismatch — 'tech' routes exclusively to Hacker News while others route to BBC; wrong category may miss relevant articles
- Limit exceeds maximum of 30 — capped or rejected
- Payment failure via x402 if wallet balance is insufficient or Base network is congested
- Timeout if upstream news sources are slow to respond
