AI News Feed API

Query the AI News Feed API for real-time AI/ML news from 57+ curated Twitter/X accounts. Use when the user asks about AI news, trending AI topics, what's happening in AI/ML, or wants to build news-powered features. Provides pre-enriched bilingual (EN/ZH) summaries, importance scores, and topic tags via REST API hosted on RapidAPI.

Query pre-aggregated, LLM-enriched AI/ML news from 57+ Twitter/X accounts. Data is updated every 2 hours.

API Access & Setup

Before making any API call, check if the user has a RapidAPI key configured. If not, guide them through these steps:

1. Sign up / Log in at https://rapidapi.com (free)
2. Subscribe to the API at https://rapidapi.com/jiachenfred/api/twitter-ai-news-feed (free tier available, no credit card needed)
3. After subscribing, go to the API's Endpoints tab on RapidAPI — the X-RapidAPI-Key will be auto-filled in the code snippets on the right side. Copy it.
4. Store the key for future use (e.g. in an environment variable RAPIDAPI_KEY)

All requests must include these headers:
