FAQ

Are there free News APIs without an API key?

Yes. 7 free News APIs need no API key or sign-up, including Florida Man API, Noozra API and Spaceflight News API. You can send a request straight away.

Which keyless News APIs can I call from JavaScript in the browser?

4 of them also support CORS, including Florida Man API, Noozra API and Spaceflight News API, so a plain fetch from a web page works.

Do APIs without a key have limits?

Usually, yes. Keyless APIs typically rate-limit by IP address, so cache responses and avoid tight loops. For production traffic, an API with a free key tier often gives higher, more predictable limits.
