Stream of new articles

Get access to the news articles as soon as they are added to Event Registry.

The API endpoint allows the user to obtain the full list of news articles added to Event Registry in the last few minutes.

The endpoint can be used without any additional filters, which will return all added articles. Alternatively, you can specify filters to return only new articles in a certain language, from specific sources, mentioning specific keywords, concepts, etc.

This is the only API call that allows returning more than 100 articles per call (up to 2.000). If more than 100 articles are returned, then correspondingly higher number of tokens are used per call. For example, if 250 articles are returned, then 3 tokens are used.

The endpoint is meant to be called repeatedly every one or more minutes, depending on the amount of filters used. You can use various parameters to let us know, which articles you have already received. We strongly suggest use of recentActivityArticles*UpdatesAfterUri parameters. They will ensure that you get all the new articles and no duplicates. See Code example 3 for details.

When using some filtering parameters below you use can use this parameter to call minuteStreamArticles endpoint only every few minutes and still retrieve all added content matching your filters. The value should be at most 240 (4 hours). Note that use of this parameter is less desirable than use of recentActivityArticles*UpdatesAfterUri as it can result in non-accurate results due to time differences between servers.

recentActivityArticlesUpdatesAfterTm  string

The parameter can be used to retrieve articles that were collected after the specified time. The value should be in format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS and should represent datetime in UTC timezone. The value should be at most 4 hours in the past.
