Yes. NewsMesh is a real-time news API: child welfare stories are served through the live /v1/latest and /v1/trending endpoints alongside a searchable archive, each tagged with its category, the countries it's relevant to, and the named people detected in the body, so you can build a live feed without scraping HTML.
