For Agents

Programmatically get news headlines grouped by category, get top news stories. Covers 6 operations with apiKey authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the The News API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the The News API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

★ Data Enrichment Operations

Use the The News API to perform data enrichment operations programmatically. The API provides 6 endpoints covering core functionality including get news headlines grouped by category, get top news stories, get all news articles with search and filters.

Call GET /news/headlines to get news headlines grouped by category

Automated News Management

Automate news operations by combining multiple The News API endpoints. Agents can get top news stories and then get all news articles with search and filters in a single workflow.

Call GET /news/top to get top news stories, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call The News API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'get news headlines grouped by category', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your The News API token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get top news stories' or 'find articles about a topic', and Jentic returns the matching The News API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using The News API through Jentic.

What authentication does the The News API use?

The The News API uses an API key passed in the `api_token` query. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I get news headlines grouped by category with the The News API?

Yes. Use the GET /news/headlines endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the The News API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

How do I get news headlines grouped by category through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get news headlines grouped by category'. Jentic returns the matching The News API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the The News API have?

The The News API exposes 6 endpoints covering news, sources operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with The News API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you set the rules that decide which operations and credentials your agent can use. The News API is read-only news retrieval, so you scope it by operation: allow only the calls the agent needs, such as GET /news/headlines, GET /news/top, or GET /news/all, and leave out routes like GET /news/similar/{uuid}, GET /news/uuid/{uuid}, or GET /news/sources. Any operation you do not grant stays outside the agent's reach, and the stored token is injected at execution so it never enters the agent context.
