Steps your workflow can perform in NewsAPI.
Get Everything
Tool to search through every article published by over 150,000 sources. At least one of q, sources, language, or domains must be set or the API returns a parametersMissing error. Historical date range depends on your News API plan tier (free plans limited to ~1 month). No country parameter exists; target geography via sources, domains, or country-specific terms in q. Burst requests may trigger HTTP 429; apply backoff on throttling errors.
Get Sources
Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES — unrecognized IDs cause silently empty results.
Get Top Headlines
Tool to retrieve live top and breaking headlines; does not support historical or date-bounded queries (use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING for past date ranges). Results favor major outlets; use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or COMPOSIO_SEARCH_WEB for niche publications. Use when you need current headlines filtered by country, category, source(s), or keywords.
Get V1 Articles
Tool to fetch live article metadata from a news source using the legacy v1 API. Use when you need headlines from a specific source identifier. This v1 endpoint has been superseded by /v2/top-headlines.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I connect NewsAPI?
- Sign up for Conductor Deck, then add a NewsAPI step to a workflow on the visual canvas. The builder walks you through the connection it needs — an account authorization or the required keys — right inside the step. No separate setup or code.
- Is it free?
- Yes — Conductor Deck has a free tier you can build and run workflows on, with no credit card required. Paid plans raise the monthly run limits and add advanced features when you need them.
- What's the difference between a trigger and an action?
- A trigger is the event that starts a workflow — for example, a Stream Deck button press or an incoming event from a connected app. An action is a step the workflow performs once it runs. A workflow is one trigger followed by one or more actions.
