Breaking News API · JSON over HTTPS

A real-time press release API for developers.

Programmatic access to a normalized feed of press releases across 50+ wire services. JSON, RSS, webhooks. Sub-minute latency. For newsroom devs, data teams, and AI products.

See API docs →Talk to us
$99/seat/mo for in-app + REST. Higher tiers add webhook + API quotas.
Endpoints
GET /api/items

Recent press releases as JSON.

Returns the most recent N releases with title, body, source wire, timestamp, entities, contacts, summary. Public, rate-limited.

GET /api/feed/rss

RSS 2.0 feed of recent items.

Standard RSS endpoint for readers and aggregators that prefer XML over JSON.

POST /api/agent

Streaming AI agent over the feed.

SSE endpoint that lets you ask natural-language questions about the live feed. Requires an OpenAI key on our side.

Saved-search webhooks

Push on every match.

Configure a saved search in the UI; route matches to an HTTPS endpoint of your choice. JSON payload, retried with backoff.

Code examples

Plain HTTPS + JSON. GET /api/items?limit=N returns { items, stats, truncated } — each item carries title, source wire, link, publication timestamp, language, and an AI summary. Add ?full=1 for the full body.

curl
curl "https://www.ppnworld.com/api/items?limit=20" \
  | jq '.items[] | {title, source: .sourceName, link, pubDate}'
TypeScript
const res = await fetch("https://www.ppnworld.com/api/items?limit=20");
const { items } = await res.json();
for (const it of items) {
  console.log(it.pubDate, it.sourceName, it.title, it.link);
}
Python
import requests

r = requests.get("https://www.ppnworld.com/api/items", params={"limit": 20})
for it in r.json()["items"]:
    print(it["pubDate"], it["sourceName"], it["title"], it["link"])
RSS (XML)
curl "https://www.ppnworld.com/api/feed/rss"
Built for
Newsroom dev teams

Surface releases in your CMS.

Pipe the feed into your editorial dashboard. Pre-draft story cards on entity match. Trigger Slack alerts for beat reporters.

Data teams

Press releases as a signal.

Cross-reference releases with market data, regulatory filings, or your own product analytics. Useful for finance, policy, and competitive intelligence.

AI product teams

Real-time grounding for LLMs.

Frequently asked
What does the API return?+
Structured JSON for each press release: title, body, source wire, publication timestamp, source URL, country, language, extracted entities, extracted press contacts, embargo state, and an AI-generated summary. The /api/items endpoint returns recent items; saved-search webhooks fire on every match.
What's the latency?+
Releases land in the API in under 30 seconds from wire publication for most sources. The slowest wires (small regional aggregators, scheduled government bulletins) can take a few minutes.
Is the API rate-limited?+
Yes, with per-plan ceilings. Most newsroom integrations comfortably fit inside the default ceiling. Higher-volume use (commercial news products, AI training pipelines) requires the API tier — talk to us.
Can I push to my own webhook?+
Yes. Saved searches can route matching releases to an HTTPS webhook in addition to (or instead of) in-app and email alerts. Payload is the same JSON shape as the REST API.
Is there a way to bulk-export historical releases?+
The standard product gives a rolling window of recent releases plus entity dossiers indexing the historical archive. Larger historical pulls are handled as a custom data deal — contact us with the time range, beat, and use case.
Do you have SDKs?+
The API is plain HTTPS + JSON, so any HTTP client works. We publish example snippets for Python, TypeScript, and curl. No official SDK yet — the surface area is small enough that an SDK would be overkill.
What about AI training?+
We're open to it for legitimate research / product use, subject to licensing terms that account for the underlying wire services' usage rights. Reach out to discuss.
