API Examples
Our endpoints are very useful for filtering to find only specific resources you need. Follow each example request below to see how you can build dynamic queries.
Example Request 1

GET https://api.thenewsapi.com/v1/news/all?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&search=usd
Example Request 2
This will return all articles which match the search term "usd" OR "gbp":
GET https://api.thenewsapi.com/v1/news/all?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&search=usd%20%7C%20gbp
Example Request 3
This will return all articles which match the search term "usd" AND "gbp":
GET https://api.thenewsapi.com/v1/news/all?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&search=usd%20%2B%20gbp
Example Request 4
