GNews API
Simple multi-source news search and top-headlines API with a no-card free tier.
GNews is a lightweight news aggregation API covering articles from thousands of sources across many languages and countries. Two endpoints, search (query the index) and top-headlines (by category/country), return clean JSON with title, description, content snippet, source, image and publish time. The free tier needs no credit card and is fine for development and prototyping a news-aware Claude Skill, though it is dev/test-only and does not return full article bodies.
