## In their words

- Their pitch: Newsflash sits on the wires and collapses the noise into a deduped event graph — one happening, every source that corroborated it, queryable by theme and time, from this minute back through five years of archive.

## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: You may build products, agents, and analyses on Newsflash output — that's the point. You may not resell or redistribute the corpus wholesale as a substitute for the service itself (e.g., bulk-exporting the archive to offer a competing news API). When your product displays news items, keep the links/attribution to the original publishers that our responses provide. [...] Tier limits (request budgets, history lookback) are part of the deal. Circumventing them — key farming, IP rotation to reset keyless budgets, sharing one key across organizations — is a breach of these terms.
