Spanish & Latin American news API: 20 countries, scored and classified

Most "global" news APIs cover Latin America thinly and hand you raw Spanish text with no structure. We take a different path: deep regional coverage plus urgency scoring and classification that work in Spanish and Portuguese, not only English.

Coverage across the region

We pull from major dailies and wires across 20 Latin American countries — Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Central American and Caribbean states (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico). Each source is tagged to its country at the source level, so a query for one country returns that country's reporting — in Spanish, Portuguese, and English where available.

The part competitors skip: enrichment that crosses languages

A raw-text API leaves you to run your own NLP on every Spanish article. Our pipeline scores and classifies each item regardless of language:

• Urgency score (0–10) — a missile strike, an earthquake, or a coup attempt reported in Spanish or Portuguese surfaces with the same high score it would in English. Routine economic or sports coverage stays low, so your feed isn't noise.
• Country, topic and audience tags — filter Latin-American news by subject (markets, sanctions, elections, crime) or by who it's for (trading, security, media).
• Original timestamps and deduplication — clustered, de-duplicated, with the real publication time.

Querying it

Filter by country and language in one call, then add an urgency floor to get only what matters:

# High-urgency news from Mexico, last 7 days
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://api.newsagentdata.com/v1/feed?country=mx&min_score=5&days=7"

# Spanish-language only, across the region
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://api.newsagentdata.com/v1/feed?language=es&min_score=4"

Sample any country with no key required: https://api.newsagentdata.com/public/sample?country=br&limit=5.

Who uses it

Trading and risk desks watching commodity and political developments across the region; security and OSINT teams tracking unrest and organized crime; and media-monitoring and research teams that need structured Latin-American coverage without building a Spanish-language NLP stack first.
