About the API

The Feedzop News Feed API is a free-to-use service that brings the latest news from across the world directly to your apps and websites. The API returns news articles for the topics you choose, in a simple JSON format. You can use it to build a news listing in your app / website. When a user taps on any article in your listing, you send them to Feedzop to read the full article. Every article link in the API already points to your Feedzop Unique Link, so there’s nothing extra for you to set up.

​
Key benefits

  • Fresh Content: Access the latest news articles, updated throughout the day.
  • Topics of your choice: Get a feed built around the topics your users care about, like soccer, cricket, or business.
  • No changes needed to stay relevant: We can fine-tune what goes into your feed at any time, without you changing your integration.
  • Free Access: Start building without licensing costs or complex agreements.
The API doesn’t provide full article content for display in your product. Instead, it delivers a feed containing titles, descriptions, images, and article links. You can use this to build a news listing in your product’s interface, but users must to read the full article. Feedzop earns ad revenue when your users read articles, and this revenue is shared with you. This is what lets us keep the API free.
Use of article images is at your own discretion. Not all articles have images. Where images are provided, we cannot transfer image licensing rights to you. If you choose to display these images in your product, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to do so.

How Topic Groups work

A Topic Group decides which articles appear in your feed. Every Topic Group is created specifically for you. Feedzop’s systems identify the entities mentioned in every news article: people, teams, organisations, and more. A Topic Group is a set of such entities. For example, a soccer Topic Group could include entities like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, FC Barcelona, and UEFA. An article about Messi will appear in this feed even if it never uses the word “soccer”. Once you integrate the API with your Topic Group ID, we can add or remove entities from your Topic Group at any time. Your feed updates automatically, and you don’t need to change anything in your integration.
Topic Groups are currently set up manually. To get a Topic Group created, or to change the entities in an existing one, contact your Gamezop Account Manager.

Prerequisites

In order to use this API, you will need:

​
Rate limits

Each partner can make up to 10,000 requests per day. Requests beyond this limit return an HTTP 429 error, with a message telling you how many seconds to wait before retrying (for example, Too many requests, retry after 3600 seconds). We recommend caching responses on your server and refreshing them periodically, instead of calling the API every time a user opens your feed.
