Crypto news API

The same endpoint as the rest of the product, pointed at crypto. What follows is how it actually performs on crypto specifically — measured on 120 articles across ten subjects, with the publishers that refuse us named.

What it does on crypto, measured

Ten crypto subjects, twelve articles each, run on 18 September 2026. Nobody else publishes this for their own product, which is exactly why it is here.

Resolution did not fail once. Full text came back for 64% — a little below our 77% across all subjects, because crypto coverage leans on finance sites, and finance sites wall more of their content than most.

It depends heavily on the subject

This is the part a headline figure hides. The same API, the same day:

Policy and culture stories — regulation, CBDCs, NFTs — come from outlets that publish openly. Price and ticker stories come from finance portals that do not. If your product is about ETH price action you will see a third of the text; if it is about regulation, two thirds.

Which publishers open, and which do not

Everyone seen more than once in that run. We would rather you knew before you paid than after.

Crypto has a syndication problem, and there is a switch for it

Crypto coverage is republished more than most: one analyst note appears on five portals within the hour. Across our whole corpus 18% of a result set is a story already in it, and crypto is at the worse end of that.

dedupe=true collapses the copies before anything is resolved or extracted, so you are not billed three times for one story. The article Google ranked highest is kept and the rest are listed against it:

{
  "title": "Bitcoin ETF inflows hit a weekly record",
  "source": "Fortune",
  "duplicates": [
    { "source": "Yahoo Finance", "url": "..." },
    { "source": "AOL", "url": "..." }
  ]
}

The archive goes back to 1995, and crypto is younger than that

Which is the point. You can query the whole life of the asset class and it is the same endpoint, at the same price, with no archive tier:

NewsData charges $1,299.99 a month for ten years of history. Ours reaches 1995 on the $10 minimum, and a 2010 article resolves as reliably as one from this morning — 16 of 16 at every depth we tested.

What we do not return

No prices, no tickers, no on-chain data, no sentiment scores. This is a news API, not a market data feed — if you need OHLC candles or wallet flows, you need a different product and probably two.

What you get is the article: the publisher's real URL, the headline, the source, the timestamp, and the body text where the publisher allows it.

Price

A search costs 1 credit and returns up to 100 articles of metadata. Resolving one to its publisher costs 4. An article whose full text we returned costs 20 — and nothing at all when we could not get it. A credit is a tenth of a cent, so that is $20 per 1,000 delivered articles, falling to $8 as you top up more at once.

5,000 free credits every month, no card. That is 250 full articles, or 5,000 searches, or any mix.
