What is a news sentiment analysis API?

A news sentiment analysis API measures how positive, negative, or neutral coverage is. The APITube news sentiment API returns a score from −1 to +1 with a polarity label on every article, so you can quantify tone instead of reading each story.

How does APITube score sentiment?

APITube scores sentiment from −1 to +1 and attaches a polarity label (positive, neutral, or negative). Scoring is returned at four levels — overall, title, body, and for each entity mentioned in the article — so you can see tone at whatever granularity you need.

What is per-entity sentiment?

Per-entity sentiment is a separate score for each entity in an article, not one score for the whole story. A single article can be positive about one company and negative about another, and APITube captures that per entity from −1 to +1.

Can I filter news by sentiment?

Yes. You can filter results by overall sentiment polarity and by entity-level sentiment, so you can pull, for example, only negative coverage of a specific brand from the last week.

How do title, body, and overall sentiment differ?

Title sentiment scores just the headline, body sentiment scores the article text, and overall sentiment combines the signals. Comparing them is useful when a neutral article carries a sharply worded headline, or vice versa.

How many languages does sentiment cover?

Sentiment is scored across the same coverage as the APITube news API: 59 languages and 177+ countries, over 500,000+ sources.

Is sentiment available on the free plan?

Yes. Sentiment is part of the enriched schema returned on every plan, including the free tier, so you can evaluate it for real before you scale.
