Athena News API

About Athena News API

Athena is a news API that ships enrichment rather than raw articles, which is the whole reason to pay for it over a scraper. Every article in the index arrives with sentiment analysis, extracted entities linked to real-world knowledge bases, the relationships between those entities, automated topic analysis, and pre-generated vector embeddings from off-the-shelf models. That last item is the one that matters for anyone building retrieval-augmented systems: the embeddings are already computed, so a news corpus can be dropped into a vector store or a search application without running an embedding pass first. Coverage is drawn from over 50,000 global sources with close to twenty years of historical archive, so the same endpoint serves both real-time monitoring and long-range trend analysis. The published use cases are media monitoring, risk intelligence, financial market intelligence and machine-learning training data. Access to history is the main axis on which the plans differ — the free tier can search 30 days back, the entry paid tier one year, and the top self-serve tier fifteen or more years — alongside monthly request quotas and whether full article text is returned or only title and description. All paid plans include a 15-day free trial and plans can be changed at any time with immediate effect. Documentation is public and an enterprise plan covers high-volume or custom analysis needs.
