About this item

  • Live. XMLRiver searches the news when you call the API.
  • 3 of the 6 key fields we check. Source, Date, Snippet.
  • A balance you top up. You pay any amount. You spend the whole balance on calls.
  • One call. You send query to GET /search/xml. You set setab to "news". You can also send page, tbs, filter, highlights, nfpr, loc, country, lr, domain, device, os, raw and delayed. The call returns the answer when the provider is quick. When the provider is slow, the call returns a job. You fetch the answer once the job is done.
