The /news/ endpoint uses DuckDuckGo’s DDGS news search to surface recent articles from news publishers and returns an array of article URLs. Because DDGS indexes fresh news content, this endpoint is particularly effective for current events, breaking stories, and time-sensitive topics. Results come from major news outlets, blogs, and media publishers.
This endpoint is well-suited for building news datasets for LLM fine-tuning, monitoring a topic over time, or feeding a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline with fresh information.
