Free News API is a keyless news search service designed for AI agents and other applications that need current, full-text news without a signup, API key, or quota. It indexes articles from large-scale public news archives, continuously refreshing its collection and reporting more than 32 million searchable articles from publishers in 100 countries and 100 detected languages. Its data pipeline extracts article text, identifies language, country, and publication time, removes duplicates, and makes hourly ingestion snapshots available for inspection.

The service offers three main endpoints: /v1/search for full-text queries with filters and sorting, /v1/stats for coverage counts, and /v1/article for retrieving an article by URL, including its body text. Article text is available without a paid tier, and fields such as country_source and date_source indicate whether metadata is inferred. Free News API also provides documentation, an OpenAPI schema, MCP support, agent integration guides, ready-made tool definitions, prompts, and a RAG recipe. The service is free for commercial use and publishes methodology, statistics, and data snapshots.
