Connect News api to OpenClaw on Operator.io
News api is a REST API for searching and retrieving live news articles from across the web. Instantly access headlines, coverage, and breaking stories from thousands of sources.
Automate News api with AI
Operator puts an OpenClaw agent in front of News api. You describe the job from Telegram or Discord and it handles the rest inside News api, picking the right calls from the 4 News api actions and checking its own work as it goes.
Your agent reaches News api directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.
What your agent can do with News api
Your agent can call any of these News api actions by name as part of a larger task. Ask for the outcome you want and it picks the right ones.

How to connect News api
You authorize News api once from your dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access tokens on its own, so your agent keeps working with News api without you signing in again. The same setup unlocks every other app your agent can reach, so you only do it once.
When you are ready, the get started guide walks through standing up your OpenClaw agent.
