Which channel should I use?

Use SSE for a simple one-way read of new articles over plain HTTP. Use WebSocket (/v1/news/ws) when you want a full-duplex connection. Use webhooks when you would rather receive HTTP POSTs on your own URL and not maintain a connection.

Do real-time channels support the same filters?

Yes. SSE, WebSocket, and webhooks all accept the same filters as /v1/news/everything — language, category, source, sentiment, entities, and dates — so you subscribe only to the articles you care about.

How is real-time delivery billed?

You pay per article actually delivered — 1 credit each across streams and webhooks. Open connections and heartbeats without new articles are not billed.

Open an SSE stream in one line with curl, or create a webhook in the dashboard. See the dedicated SSE Real-Time Stream and Webhooks pages for full examples and event formats.
