Choosing the Right News API

Different news APIs serve different purposes. Some focus on global headlines from major publications, while others specialize in specific regions or topics. Consider your audience, update frequency needs, and whether you need historical data or just current headlines.

Most news APIs have rate limits on free tiers, so plan your request frequency accordingly. For production apps with high traffic, you may need a paid plan.
