How do I pull protests news from the API?

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

Every protests 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.

NewsMesh is a real-time news API: protests 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.
