Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://latest-news-api.latest-news.workers.dev/v1/news/%7Bcategory%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, AI-agent-friendly news summaries sourced specifically from open US government sources (NASA, NOAA, etc.) across a fixed set of science and government categories. It is ideal when you want ready-made attribution and license metadata alongside article summaries. Prefer it over general news APIs when open-government provenance, public-domain licensing, and AI-optimized summaries are important. Not suitable for breaking commercial news, social media trends, or categories outside space, climate, technology, exploration, station, and government.
