Newsflash

by Newsflash

Overview

Newsflash is news and signal infrastructure built for AI agents. Instead of raw headlines, it serves a deduplicated event graph: coverage from 260+ global outlets is continuously crawled and collapsed so that one real-world happening becomes one event, with its corroborating sources attached and a confidence score derived from how many independent outlets confirm it. Your agent asks "what actually happened?" and gets a ranked, corroborated answer instead of forty near-duplicate articles. What you can do with it in Claude: - Monitor breaking news in real time, filtered by keyword, source, or category, with semantic search for concept-level queries ("monetary easing", not just exact strings). - Judge reliability at a glance: every event carries its corroboration count and confidence score. - Drill into any event to see every underlying article — outlet, URL, and timestamp. - Search the raw article layer when you need per-outlet coverage, and inspect the tracked source list and live corpus statistics. Newsflash works instantly with no account or API key (rate-limited trial tier, 24-hour lookback). A free API key raises limits and history to 30 days; the premium tier unlocks the full multi-year archive. All tools are strictly read-only. No cookies, no trackers.

Tools

corpus_stats

Claude

Corpus size and freshness: source / article / event counts and the latest article timestamp.

get_event

Claude

Fetch a single event by id, including every corroborating article (source, url, timestamp).

get_events

Claude

Query the deduped news event graph by theme, source, category and time window. Returns events (many articles about one happening collapsed into one), each with a corroboration count and confidence score. This is the primary tool — prefer it over raw articles. The corpus spans 260+ global outlets and a five-year archive (history visible depends on tier).
