News API data for RAG and AI agents
Use Currents as a source-linked news data feed for retrieval pipelines and agent tools. Currents provides article JSON, metadata, filters, and publisher URLs; your system handles embeddings, vector storage, prompts, and generation.
Where Currents fits in RAG
Article fields and source context
Each result can include title, description, source URL, available content fields, source name, language, category, and publish date for permitted API processing.
Precise Filtering
Search by keyword, date range, language, country, or source domain before your application stores, ranks, or sends results downstream.
Recent and historical coverage
Use 26M+ indexed articles for historical context, then refresh with newly indexed news when your workflow needs current coverage.
RAG and agent workflow patterns
News context for RAG
Use permitted article fields, source links, and timestamps as retrieval input for internal search, monitoring, or RAG workflows. Currents provides the news API data; your system handles embeddings, vector storage, prompts, and generation.
Agent tool calls
Call Search API from your app or agent workflow, for example search_news(keywords, start_date, end_date), then pass the selected fields into your own tool layer.
Scheduled context refresh
Run /latest-news on a schedule with category or source filters for permitted internal retrieval workflows. Long-lived stores, archival retention, or end-user output products should be scoped under enterprise terms.
Source-aware outputs
Keep publisher URLs, source names, and published times attached to any downstream answer so readers can trace where the news context came from.
