GNews

Actions

• Search articlesSearch news articles from over 80,000 sources worldwide, with every filter GNews offers: keywords, which part of the article to match them in, language, the country the publisher is in, a published-between window, ordering and paging. Each article comes back flattened, with its publisher, its domain and a clean copy of its text.
• Search recent articlesSearch articles published within a window that moves with the clock (the last 6 hours, the last day, the last week) counted back from the moment the step runs. This is the search to put on a schedule: a fixed date range would return the same articles on every run, while this one always looks at what is new.
• Get top headlinesGet the trending headlines, ranked the way Google News ranks them, in any of nine sections: general, world, nation, business, technology, entertainment, sports, science or health. Narrow them to a country, a language or a keyword. This is the front page; use Search articles to go looking for something in particular.
• Count articlesCount how many articles mention a subject in the window you choose, and return the newest one. It costs a single request whether the answer is three articles or thirty thousand, so it is the cheap check to branch a workflow on: alert someone when coverage of your brand spikes, or skip the rest of the run when there is nothing new.
• Compare topicsCompare how much is being written about several subjects (two to five of them) over the same window, ranked, each with its share of the combined coverage and its newest headline. Use it for share of voice against competitors, or to see which of your product lines the press is picking up.
• Compare countriesTake one subject and see where in the world it is being written about: two to five countries over the same window, ranked, each with its share of the combined coverage and its newest headline. Use it to tell a local story from an international one, or to find the market a launch actually landed in.
