Frequently Asked Questions

Can I aggregate from paywalled news sites?

AlterLab extracts publicly available content. For sites with metered paywalls, the API captures content visible to first-time visitors. Fully paywalled content requires authentication credentials.

How do I handle multiple news sources efficiently?

Send concurrent requests to all your sources. AlterLab handles thousands of parallel requests with automatic retries, returning structured article data from each source.

Responsible Use

AlterLab is designed for extracting publicly available data. Always review the terms of service for any website you access, respect robots.txt directives, and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
