The Web Content API is deprecated. Use the News, Blogs & Forums APIs instead - same content, one endpoint per content type, and where new features land.
The Web Content API serves three content types, selected with the site_type filter.
| Type | site_type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| News | news | Articles from news sites |
| Blogs | blogs | Blog posts |
| Discussions | discussions | Posts and replies from online forums |
Select one or more:
site_type:(news OR blogs)
Forum results are organized as threads. Each post carries thread-level fields such as thread.replies_count and thread.participants_count, plus ord_in_thread (its position in the thread). Use is_first:true to match only the opening post of each thread:
site_type:discussions is_first:true thread.title:"data breach"
All three content types share the same query language and response shape. Only site_type and a few thread fields differ in relevance.
