API basics
A few basics apply across the API:
Use the same filters across article endpoints. /v1/news/everything supports all filters. Other article endpoints add a specific selection: /v1/news/category/{taxonomy}/{category_id} searches one category, and /v1/news/top-headlines limits results by source quality.
Entity filters find a specific person, company, brand or place. For example, organization.name=Tesla finds articles about the company, rather than every use of the word. To find an entity ID, enter part of its name in the autocomplete endpoints.
Each request uses points. A standard request costs 1 point. The prompt parameter adds 2 points, and fact-check costs 5 points. Check your remaining points for free with /v1/balance. Your rate limit sets how many requests you can send per minute.
