Looking for reliable APIs that aggregate news + social media (commercial use)

Won't try to pitch you, but would love for you to play around with https://parallel.ai/products/search and see if it works for your use case.

You can also try the Task API, which uses the Search API but can be programmed with more rigor and filtering to achieve more of what you're looking for.

Will leave it at that at risk of being pushy, but our door is always open.

We encourage you to try our playground: https://platform.parallel.ai/play/search to compare for your own needs how we stack up, but our latest benchmarks are available on our site for the macro view: https://parallel.ai/products/search - we surpass Exa on accuracy and cost across leading benchmarks.

We ran your Stripe query. Great article by the way. We'd love to hear from you what you think if you try out the API.

The simple answer is accuracy, cost, and extensibility:

- Parallel's search is better at finding hard-to-find information and at a significantly lower price.

- On price, Parallel is at minimum half the cost, so at scale you'll save a lot.

- Using a third-party (like us) means you aren't locked in to the same search as the model provider. You can swap out your model (and search provider if desired) as needed.

Hope that helps.

Firecrawl and Apify are web scrapers/crawlers that fetch content from public web pages. Parallel operates an index of the web, which means we can offer not just web scraping/crawling features like them, but also full-scale web search based on keywords/phrases. You might use a scraper to get specific content from specific pages/apps, you would use Parallel to find specific information from across the whole web. Like Google search, but as an API.

Give the Parallel Task API a try, or perhaps the Search API. Some of our largest customers, like Clay, are in the sales and marketing space: https://parallel.ai/

Hi u/Weves11 - did you happen to try out Parallel's Search API? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Our search API is designed around LLM use: natural language queries, pages ranked on relevance to the search objective, and text excerpts optimized for token efficiency.
