APITube News API

APITube is a worldwide News API. Use it to search and filter news articles in real time or historically, then read structured fields (title, body, source, sentiment, entities).

• Base URL: https://api.apitube.io/v1
• Full docs: https://docs.apitube.io/
• OpenAPI spec: https://api-reference.apitube.io/openapi.json
• Get an API key: https://apitube.io/

Authentication

Read the key from the environment variable APITUBE_API_KEY and reference it as $APITUBE_API_KEY. Never write the key itself into a command, a file or a code sample: a literal key ends up in shell history, logs and version control. If the variable is unset, ask the user to export it — do not ask them to paste the key into the chat.

# 1. Authorization header (most secure)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APITUBE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything?per_page=10"

# 2. X-API-Key header
curl -H "X-API-Key: $APITUBE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything?per_page=10"

# 3. Query parameter — accepted, but it leaks the key into server logs,
#    browser history and referrer headers. Use a header instead.
curl "https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything?per_page=10&api_key=$APITUBE_API_KEY"

Keys prefixed api_test_ run against the same data and do not consume quota, so use one while wiring up an integration. Only body and body_html are truncated, and the cut is marked with [Test mode — use a live key for full content]; title, description, entities, sentiment, categories and source come through in full. The Free plan truncates the same two fields, with the marker [Upgrade subscription plan]. Check for those strings to detect a truncated body instead of guessing from its length. See https://docs.apitube.io/platform/news-api/authentication.
