# Quickstart

Send a JSON request with a free-text `query`:

`POST`

```bash
curl -s -X POST "http://api.webz.io/api/news/context" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "query": "renewable energy investments in Germany"
  }'

```

The API can match articles that discuss the topic even when they do not contain the exact query terms.

By default, the API returns up to 10 results and uses best match.
