View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Searches Brave's news index and returns articles with titles, URLs, descriptions, ages, and thumbnails. Supports freshness filters (past day, week, month, or custom date ranges), SafeSearch levels, and Goggles for custom source ranking.
You get structured news data with date filtering and custom source ranking in a single API call, which is faster than scraping multiple news sites or juggling RSS feeds.
When to use it
- Pulling headlines from the last 24 hours on a specific topic
- Filtering news to only trusted sources using Goggles ranking rules
- Looking up articles published during a specific date range
- Building a multilingual news feed by combining country and language params
- Feeding news results into a data pipeline with fetch metadata timestamps
