Thread summaries
See the discussion around the story
Use AskNews to find relevant information on the web and X, and to search Reddit threads. Reporting tells you what happened; these sources tell you how it landed — the documentation, firsthand statements and public reaction that surround an event.
Search the web and X for additional context
The Web Search endpoint returns search results with structured LLM distillation and prompt-ready text. Use its documented filters to focus on X when the conversation itself is relevant to your question.
Explore Reddit without processing raw threads
Reddit Search returns summarized threads and structured discussion data through a separate endpoint. Search the existing thread index, or use deep mode to search and summarize live Reddit results.
MCP, CLI and SDK quickstart
Choose the interface for each source
Use the Web Search API for web and X queries and the Reddit Search API for threads. The CLI provides web, x and reddit commands; MCP covers web and X search; DeepNews can draw on all three during research.
