How this service works
Pay-per-call API gateway on the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 + USDC on Base). This document covers the gateway's discovery and execution meta-endpoints. Individual provider APIs are reachable at /{api_slug}/{path} and described by GET /{api_slug}/metadata.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a status field, the upstream Mediastack API response body in 'result' (articles, metadata, pagination), the operation called, latency in milliseconds, cost string (e.g. '$0.09'), and the upstream HTTP status code.
Example use cases
Breaking news search by keyword
“Pull the latest news articles about climate change from Mediastack — English only, US sources, top 10 results from today.”
Country-specific headline retrieval
“Fetch today's top headlines from Mediastack for Germany in German, I need the 5 most recent articles.”
Category-filtered news feed
“Get me the latest business and finance news from Mediastack — English language, global sources, top 20 articles from this week.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://gateway.apiosk.com/mediastack/executeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to query Mediastack's news and media data without managing your own Mediastack API key, prefer micropayment-per-call billing in USDC over subscription plans, or are building an agent that needs on-demand news lookups with transparent per-call costs. Prefer alternatives if you need bulk/batch news ingestion or already have a direct Mediastack subscription.
Side effects
- Invalid operation selector returns error in status field
- Malformed JSON input payload causes upstream 400 error reflected in upstream_status
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure blocks the call before forwarding
- Mediastack API key misconfiguration on gateway side returns 401 upstream_status
- Rate limit exceeded on Mediastack side returns 429 upstream_status
- Unknown api_slug or operation returns gateway-level 404
