Currents News API Documentation

Getting Started

Step 1: Get Your API Key

To use the Currents API, you need an API key. You can get one by:

Step 2: Make Your First Request

Here's a simple example to fetch the latest news:

With cURL

curl -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://api.currentsapi.services/v1/latest-news

With JavaScript (fetch)

fetch('https://api.currentsapi.services/v1/latest-news', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
})
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));

With Python (requests)

import requests

headers = {
  'Authorization': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
}

response = requests.get(
  'https://api.currentsapi.services/v1/latest-news',
  headers=headers
)

data = response.json()
print(data)

Step 3: Explore the API

Now that you have your API key, you can:

• Search for news on specific topics
• Filter by country, language, and category
• Get latest news or search historical articles
• Limit results and paginate through data
