Frequently asked questions about Football News

How do I pull football news from the API?

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

What does NewsMesh tag on each football story?

Every football 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 football 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.

Is football news available in real time?

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

How do I access the football news feed?

Create a NewsMesh account, generate an API key, and call the endpoint above with your apiKey parameter. See the pricing page for current plans and rate limits.
