How this service works
x402-gated open-government news JSON API for AI agents. Categories: space, climate, technology, exploration, station, government.
Output
A JSON object containing a dataset descriptor (id, name, license, categories, schema version), a flat list of articles, and a by_category map. Each article includes id, title, summary, source name, source URL, category, tags, fetched_at, published_at, attribution, and license note. Also includes a generated_at timestamp, article count, and self/openapi links.
Example use cases
Daily space mission briefing
“Give me today's latest space and NASA news from official government sources — structured summaries with links to the original articles.”
Climate policy news digest
“Fetch the most recent climate headlines from open government sources so I can include them in my weekly environmental policy newsletter.”
Tech news from public sector
“What are the latest technology news items published by federal or open-government agencies? I need titles, summaries, and source URLs.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://latest-news-api.latest-news.workers.dev/v1/newsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, AI-agent-ready news from open U.S. government sources (NASA, federal agencies) with proper attribution and license metadata. It is ideal for pipelines that require legally clear public-domain content with source_url attribution. Prefer it over general news APIs when the domain must be restricted to official government or public-sector sources across space, climate, technology, exploration, station, or government categories.
Side effects
- Payment not completed (x402 payment required — HTTP 402 returned if USDC micropayment not sent)
- Invalid or missing category parameter returns all categories by default
- Network/edge timeout from Cloudflare Workers may return 5xx
- Empty article list if no new articles have been fetched for a category
- Truncated summaries if upstream government sources are unavailable
