Historical Archive

Overview

NewsMesh maintains a growing archive of news articles from hundreds of sources. Depending on your plan, you can access articles from the past 7 days up to our complete historical archive.

Historical data is perfect for trend analysis, research projects, media monitoring, and building datasets for machine learning applications.

Archive Depth by Plan

How It Works

Your archive access automatically applies to all endpoints:

• /latest - Returns articles within your history window
• /search - Date filters are bounded by your plan's access
• /article/{id} - Access any article you've previously retrieved

If you request data outside your plan's archive window, you'll receive only the articles within your allowed range.
