Example use cases

Competitive intelligence via press coverage
“Search for recent news about OpenAI and show me the top headlines and sources — I want to see what's being written about them this week.”
Crypto market sentiment from news
“Pull up the latest news about Bitcoin price movements, up to 5 articles, so I can see what's driving sentiment right now.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402deploy.vercel.app/api/newsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time or recent news headlines without requiring an API key or subscription — the x402 micropayment model means pay-per-use with no auth setup. Ideal for lightweight news lookups, competitive monitoring, or current-events enrichment in agent workflows where cost per call ($0.005 USDC) is acceptable and low query volume makes a subscription unnecessary.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' field returns a validation error
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not provided or fails
- No articles found for obscure or misspelled queries returns total: 0 with empty articles array
- Invalid 'lang' format may return results in unexpected language or default to English
- Rate limiting or upstream news provider outages may result in 5xx errors
