Información Center API
Read-only access to the published stories of Información Center. Free to use with attribution: link to each story's canonical URL and name the publisher (every record has an "attribution" object). Without a key you get summaries, 60 requests a minute. Partners with a key get their own limit and, with the full-text scope, the full text of stories. Ask for a key through the contact page.
Start
Base address: https://informacion.center/api/v1. Every answer is JSON. Lists come in pages (page, limit) with meta (total, pages) and links.next.
curl "https://informacion.center/api/v1/articles?lang=en§ion=music&limit=5"With a key, send it in the Authorization: Bearer header (or X-API-Key). Never put a key in a web page: it is for your server.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer clk_..." "https://informacion.center/api/v1/articles/STORY-ID"Attribution
Every story record has an attribution object. Show the publisher name and link to attribution.canonicalUrl wherever you use the story. Stories based on another outlet's reporting also name that source in attribution.source; keep that credit too.
