Top 4 Free & Open-Source News API Alternatives
While building NewsCatcher News API, we discovered many open-sourced & free tools, services, libraries that help you find & parse online-published news articles.
While there are a few paid options (including what NewsCatcher does), some non-commercial use cases might be satisfied with open-sourced & free options. So you don't have to pay to News API providers.
GDELT analyses news articles published online. They apply Natural Language Processing to understand what news is being written worldwide. In addition, the GKG dataset allows you to find the links to newly published news articles.
You might think that a list of URLs isn't much, but I bet you might be wrong. It's a half job done. For example, you could use the newspaper3k Python package for parsing news by ULR/it's HTML.
Common Crawl crawls the web and open-source all of the online pages they could have found. They are non-profit, so I highly encourage you to donate to them if you'll end up using their solution.
