Make (Integromat) Integration

Make (formerly Integromat) is a powerful visual automation platform with 1,000+ app integrations. With APITube News API, you can build automated scenarios for news monitoring, alerts, and AI-powered digests using Make's drag-and-drop interface.

Prerequisites

• Make account (free or paid plan)
• APITube API key (get one from your dashboard)

Setting Up APITube Credentials

Make does not have a built-in APITube module, so we use the HTTP module to make API requests. You can save your credentials for reuse across scenarios.

Option 1: API Key Connection (recommended)

1. In your scenario, add an HTTP → Make a request module
2. Click Add next to Credentials
3. Choose API Key as the type
4. Configure:
   • Name: APITube API
   • Key: X-API-Key
   • Value: your API key from apitube.io
   • Placement: Header
5. Click Save

Option 2: Inline Header

When configuring an HTTP module, add a header manually:

• Header name: X-API-Key
• Header value: your API key

TIP

Using Option 1 is recommended — it stores the API key securely and lets you reuse it across all HTTP modules in your scenarios.

Scenario 1: News Monitoring → Google Sheets

Automatically collect news articles into a Google Sheets spreadsheet on a schedule.

Scenario flow:

Scheduler → HTTP (GET) → JSON Parse → Iterator → Google Sheets (Add Row)

Step-by-step setup:

Module 1: Scheduler

• Run scenario: Every 15 minutes

Module 2: HTTP — Make a request

• URL: https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything
• Method: GET
• Credentials: select your APITube API credential
• Query String (add each as a separate parameter):
  • title = artificial intelligence
  • language.code = en
  • per_page = 50
  • sort.by = published_at
  • sort.order = desc
• Parse response: Yes

Module 3: Iterator

• Array: select articles from the HTTP response

Module 4: Google Sheets — Add a Row

• Connect your Google account and select the target spreadsheet
• Map columns:
  • Title → title
  • URL → url
  • Source → source.name
  • Published → published_at
  • Sentiment → sentiment.overall.polarity
  • Image → image

Customization tips:

• Change the title parameter to monitor different keywords
• Add category.id to filter by category (see list of categories)
• Add source.country.code to filter by country (e.g., us, gb)
• Use person.name or organization.name to track specific entities
• Add a Filter between Iterator and Google Sheets to apply additional conditions

Scenario 2: News to Slack / Telegram

Send news alerts to your team's Slack channel or Telegram group.

Scenario flow:

Scheduler → HTTP (GET) → JSON Parse → Iterator → Slack / Telegram

Step-by-step setup:

Module 1: Scheduler

• Run scenario: Every 30 minutes

Module 2: HTTP — Make a request

• URL: https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything
• Method: GET
• Credentials: select your APITube API credential
• Query String:
  • title = startup funding
  • language.code = en
  • per_page = 10
  • sort.by = published_at
  • sort.order = desc
• Parse response: Yes

Module 3: Iterator

• Array: select articles from the HTTP response

Module 4a: Slack — Create a Message

• Channel: select your target channel
• Text:

"*<{url}|{title}>*\n_{source.name}_ • {published_at}\n{description}"

Replace {field} with the corresponding mapped value from the Iterator module.

Module 4b (alternative): Telegram Bot — Send a Message

• Chat ID: your group/channel ID

• Text: map title, source.name, published_at, and url fields from the Iterator

• Parse Mode: HTML or Markdown

TIP

Add a Filter between the Iterator and Slack/Telegram modules to only send articles matching specific conditions (e.g., sentiment score > 0, specific source, etc.).

Scenario 3: AI News Digest → Email

Build a daily AI-powered news digest and send it via email.

Scenario flow:

Scheduler → HTTP (GET) → Text Aggregator → OpenAI (Chat) → Gmail

Step-by-step setup:

Module 1: Scheduler

• Run scenario: Once a day at 8:00 AM

Module 2: HTTP — Make a request

• URL: https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/top-headlines
• Method: GET
• Credentials: select your APITube API credential
• Query String:
  • language.code = en
  • per_page = 20
  • sort.by = published_at
  • sort.order = desc
• Parse response: Yes

Module 3: Iterator

• Array: select articles from the HTTP response

Module 4: Text Aggregator

• Source Module: Iterator
• Text: map title, source.name, and url fields from the Iterator, formatted as - {title} ({source.name}) {url}
• Row separator: newline

Module 5: OpenAI — Create a Chat Completion

• Model: gpt-4o-mini
• Messages:
  • Role: user
  • Content: Summarize the following news articles into a concise daily digest. Group by topic, highlight the most important stories, and keep it under 500 words. + aggregated text from Module 4

Module 6: Gmail — Send an Email

• To: your email address
• Subject: Daily News Digest
• Content: OpenAI response from Module 5

Parameters

For a full list of available query parameters (50+ filters including language, category, sentiment, entities, date ranges, and more), see the Parameters reference.

Tips & Tricks

• Avoid duplicates: Use published_at.start with Make's formatDate(now; "YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:mm:ss") function, subtracting your polling interval
• Rate limits: APITube allows 50 requests per minute. Space your Scheduler intervals accordingly
• Pagination: Use page parameter to fetch more results. Max per_page is 250
• Error handling: Right-click any module → Add error handler → Resume to gracefully handle API timeouts
• Make plan limits: Free Make plan allows 1,000 operations/month. Each Iterator cycle counts as one operation, so keep per_page low or use filters
• Data Store: Use Make's Data Store module to track seen article URLs and prevent processing the same article twice across scenario runs
