## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with News api MCP or direct API to search news, fetch breaking headlines, summarize stories, and monitor topics in real time through natural language.

## Summary

News api is a REST API for searching and retrieving live news articles from across the web. Instantly access headlines, coverage, and breaking stories from thousands of sources.

## Categories

- entertainment & media

## Toolkit Details

- Tools: 4

## Images

- Logo: https://logos.composio.dev/api/news_api

## Authentication

- **Api Key**
  - Type: `api_key`
  - Description: Api Key authentication for NewsAPI.
  - Setup:
    - Configure Api Key credentials for NewsAPI.
    - Use the credentials when creating an auth config in Composio.

## Suggested Prompts

- Get headlines about today's tech news
- Find recent articles on climate change
- Show top stories from BBC News
- Summarize latest sports news worldwide

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING` | Get Everything | Tool to search through every article published by over 150,000 sources. At least one of q, sources, language, or domains must be set or the API returns a parametersMissing error. Historical date range depends on your News API plan tier (free plans limited to ~1 month). No country parameter exists; target geography via sources, domains, or country-specific terms in q. Burst requests may trigger HTTP 429; apply backoff on throttling errors. |
| `NEWS_API_GET_SOURCES` | Get Sources | Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES — unrecognized IDs cause silently empty results. |
| `NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES` | Get Top Headlines | Tool to retrieve live top and breaking headlines; does not support historical or date-bounded queries (use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING for past date ranges). Results favor major outlets; use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or COMPOSIO_SEARCH_WEB for niche publications. Use when you need current headlines filtered by country, category, source(s), or keywords. |
| `NEWS_API_GET_V1_ARTICLES` | Get V1 Articles | Tool to fetch live article metadata from a news source using the legacy v1 API. Use when you need headlines from a specific source identifier. This v1 endpoint has been superseded by /v2/top-headlines. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute News api Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute News api actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Get the latest technology news headlines'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Get the latest technology news headlines'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and Claude Agent SDK
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to News api tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Get the latest technology news headlines')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: mcp.url,
    headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key' }
  }
});

const tools = await client.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Get the latest technology news headlines' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs( 5 )
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```
