Announcing Version 2 of Our API: Enhanced Search Performance and New Features

Version 2 of our API introduces powerful enhancements to improve the handling of large search requests, along with exciting new features like trending headlines. Here’s a summary of the key updates:

• Async Query Capabilities:

  • Added the /api/v2/query-async and /api/v2/get-results endpoints for asynchronous queries.

    • Submit a search request to /api/v2/query-async to receive a query_id.

    • Use the query_id and your API_key with /api/v2/get-results to check the status of your query and access results when they’re ready.

• Search Logic

  • Search logical operators. Examples:

    • ("tesla" or "cybertruck") and not "elon musk"

    • ("amazon" and "aws")

    • ("donald trump" or "trump" or "president") and not "elon musk"

• Improved Query Performance:

  • Async Query Results are cached in solid-state memory, enabling much faster pagination through large query results.

• New Feature: Headlines (BETA):

  • Launched the /api/v2/headlines endpoint to retrieve trending news topics and related articles.

• Enhanced Search Flexibility:

  • Improved /api/v2/query to better handle missing fields.

  • Introduced a filter to refine search results based on the traffic rank of news sites.

    • Example: Limit results to the top 5% of news sites by monthly traffic.

These updates are designed to streamline your workflows, improve efficiency, and help you unlock new insights from your searches.
