Frequently asked questions about Crime News
How do I pull crime news from the API?
Call GET /v1/search?q=crime with your apiKey to return recent crime stories as structured JSON. Add &category= or &country= to narrow the results.

Every crime article carries its category, the countries it's relevant to, and the named people detected in the body, so you can route and filter without your own NLP layer.
Can I combine crime with category or country filters?
Yes. Add &category=technology (or business, politics, and more) and &country=us (or any ISO country code) to the search query to focus the feed.

Yes. NewsMesh is a real-time news API: crime 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.
