News Headlines & Search API (70+ outlets)

Get the latest headlines from 70+ news sites, search them, or pull every outlet's coverage of one story, as clean JSON. Each article comes with the headline, the publisher's own summary and image, the link to the original article, and a story_id that ties together every outlet's version of the same story.

The data comes from the Noozra news API. This Actor is a convenient way to run it on Apify: schedule it, send the results to a webhook, Google Sheets or your database, or call it from your own Actors.

What you can do

• Latest headlines: newest first, from every section or one (AI, business, culture, entertainment, finance, general, health, lifestyle, opinion, politics, science, sports, tech, weather, world). Pages through 100 articles per request up to your maximum.
• One item per story: list each story once, at its newest article, with story_size saying how many articles the story has in the listing's window. A quick way to see what the news is about right now.
• Search headlines: find articles from the last 28 days by words in the headline, optionally in one section. Up to 100 results, on every key.
• Coverage of one story: give the story_id from any article and get every outlet's article about that story, to compare how each one reported it.

Your Noozra API key

The Actor calls the Noozra API with your own key, which you paste into the input (Apify stores it encrypted).

To try it first, run it with the key left empty: you get the 10 newest headlines of the section you picked (General if none) from Noozra's public RSS feed, without images or story ids. Search and story coverage need a key.

Key	Requests a day	Use
Free	100	Personal and non-commercial projects
API Pro, $9 for 30 days	25,000	Commercial use of the API, plus the archive (articles older than 14 days) for latest headlines and story coverage

Get a free key at noozra.com/register: it creates your account and takes you to your API keys, or goes straight to them if you are already signed in. Each request returns up to 100 articles, so a free key covers up to 10,000 articles a day.

You also pay Apify's usual platform usage for the run, which for this Actor is small: it makes plain HTTPS requests and uses no browser.

Input

Field	What it does
apiKey	Your Noozra API key (starts with nk_). Leave it empty for a 10-item sample.
mode	latest (default), search or story.
category	One section, or empty for all. Latest and Search.
query	Words to search for. Search only.
groupByStory	One item per story. Latest only.
storyId	The story to fetch. Story only.
publishedAfter	Only articles published after this date. Latest only. A free key reaches back 14 days from now, so pick a date at most 13 days ago; earlier needs API Pro.
maxItems	Stop after this many articles (default 100).

Example:

{
    "apiKey": "nk_...",
    "mode": "latest",
    "category": "tech",
    "groupByStory": true,
    "maxItems": 200
}

Output

One dataset item per article:

{
    "id": "a0b4b35e-04a1-49f3-a644-ff54b2408c68",
    "headline": "6 Harry Potter Wizards More Powerful Than The Movies Showed, Ranked",
    "url": "https://screenrant.com/harry-potter-powerful-wizards-nerfed-movies/",
    "published_at": "2026-10-04T21:15:17Z",
    "source": "Screen Rant",
    "category": "entertainment",
    "image_url": "https://static0.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/brendan-gleeson-as-madeye-moody-in-harry-potter.png",
    "image_width": 1920,
    "image_height": 1080,
    "description": "Even some of the most powerful and renowned wizards and witches in the Harry Potter movies are far more powerful in JK Rowlings' original books.",
    "story_id": "55f7bdf2-4810-4c70-94b8-562990d374b0"
}

description is the summary the publisher wrote, up to 500 characters. image_url is the publisher's own image. With groupByStory, each item also has story_size, the number of articles the story has in the listing's window. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or read them through the Apify API.

Using the data

The headlines, summaries and images belong to their publishers. Show them with the publisher's name and link to the article's url; that is what the data is for. A free key is for personal and non-commercial use; using the API in anything that earns money needs API Pro. See the Noozra terms.

Errors you may see

• "Noozra refused the API key": the key is mistyped, or was revoked or regenerated. Copy it again from noozra.com/account/api. ("That is not a Noozra API key" means the input does not start with nk_.)
• "The API key's daily quota is used up": the key's requests for the day are spent; it resets at 00:00 UTC. Articles already saved stay in the dataset.
• "articles older than 14 days are in the archive, which is part of API Pro": publishedAfter reaches past the 14-day window of a free key.

Other ways to use the API

The same data is available directly over HTTPS, through an MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients, and from n8n's HTTP Request node. See noozra.com/api.
