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.

One API key for agent-grade web search, fetch, browsing and automation
Real browser-rendered search that returns structured JSON with fresh, uncached results from the live web, with no search fee.
Convert any URL into token-efficient Markdown, JSON or HTML, stripping navigation bars, cookie banners and ads before they reach your model.
Full cloud browser sessions with persistent state that you drive with Playwright, Puppeteer or the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Give an agent a goal in plain English and it navigates, fills forms and returns structured results; monitoring fires alerts when a tracked page or topic changes.
