05 — FAQ

  
Questions, answered.


  

    

      Do I really not need a key?
      
No key to start — keyless runs at 20 calls an hour, looks back about 24 hours, and returns up to 8 events per call. Add a free account and API key for 100 calls an hour, a ~30-day window, and up to 100 events.

    

    

      Can I use the results commercially?
      
Yes. Every plan includes a full commercial license, keyless included — ship what you build from day one.

    

    

      MCP or REST API — which do I use?
      
Either. The same tools return the same event objects over MCP and a plain REST API. Use whatever your stack prefers.

    

    

      How do I add it to Claude or Cursor?
      
Copy the setup snippet from "Setup for agents" into your client config. It works anywhere MCP does — Claude, Cursor, or your own agent loop.

    

    

      How fresh is the data?
      
New stories land in the index continuously and are searchable within minutes of publication.

    

    

      Where does the data come from?
      
One real-time news index, built and run entirely in house by NewsCatcher — no third-party search API sitting in the loop.

    

    

      What languages and countries do you cover?
      
Worldwide sources across dozens of languages. Scope any query by language, country, or source.

    

    

      How are duplicates handled?
      
Automatically. The same story from many outlets is clustered into one event, so your agent reads a single result instead of thirty near-identical articles.

    

    

      What's in a response?
      
Story events, not a flat article list. Each event carries an event_id, an article_count, an event_score, and its articles — each with title, summary, link, published date, theme, and sentiment.
