apitube-news-api
Query the APITube News API — authenticate, search and filter worldwide news articles by keyword, entity, sentiment, source, country and date, and parse the JSON response. Use when an agent needs live or historical news data, media monitoring, or news for a RAG pipeline.
Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

APITube News API — skill for AI coding agents
The official SKILL.md for the APITube News API. It teaches a coding
agent how to authenticate, search worldwide news, filter by entity, sentiment, source and
date, and read the JSON response — without guessing parameter names.
SKILL.md is an open format, so this works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot,
VS Code, Gemini CLI, Amp, Goose, opencode, Roo Code, Windsurf, JetBrains Junie and every other
skills-compatible agent.
You need an API key: get one at apitube.io — the free tier is 100 requests/day and does not require a card.
The skill
apitube-news-api — authentication, endpoints, the
/news/everything filters, plain-language prompt queries, the response shape, pagination,
rate limits and error codes.
Every parameter, field name, limit and error code in it was executed against the live API at
api.apitube.io before being written down.
Install
Any agent
npx skills add apitube/news-api-skills --skill apitube-news-api --agent claude-code
This installs into the current project, not your home directory: the file lands in
./.claude/skills/apitube-news-api/SKILL.md and a skills-lock.json is written alongside it,
pinning the source repo and a content hash. Run it from your project root, and commit the lock
file if you want the whole team on the same revision.
--agent takes your agent's slug — the skills.sh registry covers Claude
Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Gemini, Windsurf, opencode, Amp, Goose, Roo,
Cline, Kiro, Trae, Zed and others; run npx skills add --help for the current list.
Claude Code — as a plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add apitube/news-api-skills
/plugin install news-api-skills@apitube-news-api
The first command registers the marketplace, the second installs the plugin at user scope.
Remove them with /plugin uninstall news-api-skills@apitube-news-api and
/plugin marketplace remove apitube-news-api.
Manual — copy the folder
git clone https://github.com/apitube/news-api-skills.git
# Works for Cursor, Codex, VS Code / Copilot and opencode alike
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -r news-api-skills/skills/* ~/.agents/skills/
# Claude Code
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r news-api-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
~/.agents/skills/ (and .agents/skills/ inside a repo) is the shared location Cursor,
Codex, VS Code, GitHub Copilot and opencode all read, so one copy covers them at once.
| Agent | Personal | Project |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ | .claude/skills/ |
| Cursor | ~/.agents/skills/, ~/.cursor/skills/ | .agents/skills/, .cursor/skills/ |
| Codex | ~/.agents/skills/ | .agents/skills/ |
| VS Code / GitHub Copilot | ~/.agents/skills/, ~/.copilot/skills/ | .agents/skills/, .github/skills/ |
| opencode | ~/.agents/skills/, ~/.config/opencode/skills/ | .agents/skills/, .opencode/skills/ |
Cursor, Codex, VS Code and opencode also read the Claude directories for compatibility.
Provide the API key
The skill embeds no key. Export it in the environment your agent runs in:
export APITUBE_API_KEY="your_key"
Then pass it as Authorization: Bearer $APITUBE_API_KEY, X-API-Key: $APITUBE_API_KEY, or
api_key= in the query string. Test keys prefixed api_test_ return masked bodies and do not
consume quota — use one while wiring things up.
Without installing anything
APITube also serves its skills over HTTP, so an agent can discover them on its own:
- Index: https://docs.apitube.io/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json
- MCP server card: https://docs.apitube.io/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
There is also a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.apitube.io/ if you would rather give the
agent tools than instructions — see
https://docs.apitube.io/platform/news-api/ai/mcp-server.
