Licensed news infrastructure and a real-time News API built for AI
Query breaking news in under 100 ms or search archived coverage across years and decades through one consistent API.
A multi-step, self-learning agent that iterates, branches and verifies across paywalled news, the open web, X, Wikipedia and more for deep research questions.
Schedule monitoring of topics, companies and events, receive recurring reports, and follow how narratives evolve with analytics and change logs.
Each data point arrives with entities, geo-coordinates, sentiment, bias scores and key points, linked into a graph of relationships over time.
Real-time web search and retrieval APIs built for AI agents
Returns ranked, LLM-ready results with highlights and optional full content, designed to hold steady latency even under very high query concurrency.
Automatically splits one complex question into parallel sub-queries and merges the results, giving agents broader coverage from a single call.
Dedicated embedding families for text and for vision-language retrieval, letting teams embed pages, images, video, and documents into a shared vector space.
Turns any URL into clean Markdown with intent-focused highlights and a classified page type, so downstream models receive structured, noise-free input.
