Frequently asked questions about Defense News

How do I pull defense news from the API?

Call GET /v1/search?q=defense with your apiKey to return recent defense stories as structured JSON. Add &category= or &country= to narrow the results.

What does NewsMesh tag on each defense story?

Every defense 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.

Is defense news available in real time?

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