## FAQ

### How many websites do you aggregate news from?

We aggregate news from over 500,000 news websites and blogs across the globe. Our sources include major international news outlets, as well as regional and local publications in 60+ languages. We continuously expand our source database, adding approximately 1,000 new verified sources every month. Each source is ranked using our Open Page Rank (OPR) system from 0 to 10, allowing you to filter articles by source authority and credibility.

### Can I use content from your API on my platform/website?

Our service collects and compiles publicly accessible web pages, similar to how search engines index the web. We do not possess any copyrights to the article content itself. You receive article metadata including titles, descriptions, publication dates, source information, and links to original articles. For full article text, we recommend linking to the original source. Many of our customers use our API for news aggregation, market intelligence dashboards, and research applications — all within fair use guidelines.

### Can unused credits be carried forward to the following month?

Yes, unused credits carry forward on annual subscription plans. For monthly subscriptions, credits reset at the beginning of each billing cycle. Annual subscribers can accumulate up to 3 months worth of unused credits, which is particularly useful for businesses with seasonal news monitoring needs. If you anticipate variable usage throughout the year, we recommend the annual plan for maximum flexibility and cost savings.

### Can I change the subscribed plan?

You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription plan at any time through your dashboard settings. When upgrading, the new plan takes effect immediately, and you are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your billing cycle. When downgrading, the change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle, and you retain access to your current plan features until then. Enterprise customers can contact our sales team for custom plan adjustments.

### What are the different ways to use the API?

APITube API can be accessed directly through REST API calls or by using the official SDKs. We provide official SDKs and code examples for Python, JavaScript/Node.js, Java, PHP, Go, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, R, and 20+ other languages. You can also integrate directly using REST API calls with any HTTP client. Our integration guides include step-by-step tutorials for popular frameworks like Django, Flask, Laravel, Express.js, and Spring Boot. For AI workflows, we offer an MCP Server integration compatible with Claude and other AI assistants.

### What happens when I use all the credits in a paid plan?

When you exhaust your monthly credits, API requests return a 429 status code indicating rate limit exceeded. You have several options: upgrade to a higher-tier plan for immediate additional credits, enable pay-as-you-go overage billing in your settings, or wait for your credits to reset at the start of the next billing cycle. We recommend setting up usage alerts at 50%, 80%, and 95% thresholds to avoid unexpected service interruptions.

### What filters does the API support?

Our API offers 65+ filters for precise news discovery. Core filters include: date range (published_at), language (60+ supported), country (180+ countries), category (technology, business, sports, etc.), and source domain. Advanced filters let you search by sentiment polarity (positive/negative/neutral), entity mentions (people, organizations, locations), industry classification, story clusters, and source authority rank. You can combine filters using boolean logic (AND/OR/NOT) and use wildcards for flexible matching. Our Query Builder tool helps you construct complex queries visually.

### How does sentiment analysis work?

Our sentiment analysis uses advanced NLP models trained on millions of news articles to classify content as positive, negative, or neutral. Each article receives an overall sentiment score from -1.0 (most negative) to +1.0 (most positive), plus a confidence score indicating model certainty. We also provide title-specific and body-specific sentiment scores for more granular analysis. This is particularly valuable for brand monitoring, market sentiment tracking, and risk assessment applications where understanding the tone of coverage matters.

### What is story clustering and how can I use it?

Story clustering automatically groups related articles covering the same event or topic across multiple sources. Instead of receiving 50 separate articles about a major news event, you get them organized into a single story with metadata showing the story timeline, key sources, and sentiment distribution. This is essential for media monitoring dashboards, reducing noise in news feeds, and understanding how stories develop over time. Each story has a unique ID you can use to track updates.
