What is a story clustering API?

A story clustering API groups articles about the same event into one story. Instead of handling every duplicate, you handle the event once. The APITube story endpoint returns all coverage related to a given article as a single cluster.

How does APITube group related articles?

APITube has a /v1/news/story endpoint. Give it an article ID and it returns related articles matched by title similarity across sources. The result is all coverage of that story.

How do I get the related coverage for an article?

Pass the article ID to the /v1/news/story endpoint. APITube returns related articles for that story, each with entities, sentiment, and all other data, so you can show one event with all its coverage.

Why does story clustering matter for AI agents?

Without clustering, an agent sees forty near-duplicate headlines about one event and may process it forty times. Story clustering collapses that into a single story, so the agent cites the event once.

Are the related articles enriched?

Yes. Every article in a story cluster includes the same data as a normal result: entities with knowledge-graph links, sentiment at overall, title, body, and per-entity level, categories, and source authority.

How is story clustering different from a keyword search?

A keyword search returns articles that match your terms. The story endpoint starts from one article and returns coverage related to that event. One is a term match, the other is an event cluster.

How many languages and countries does clustering cover?

Story clustering covers 59 languages and 177+ countries across 300,000+ sources, the same as the APITube news API.
