Extracting Article Content with Claude Code

Searching News Feeds in Claude Code

Need to check if a specific keyword appeared globally? `search_world_news` performs the search and streams the results. Your script can then pipe this data directly into `grep` or another shell utility for filtering. It makes running complex, multi-step audits in a headless environment simple.

Getting Top World News via Claude Code

The `get_top_world_news` tool allows you to fetch top headlines by country and language using standard command line arguments. This is great for generating daily report summaries in a shell script. It provides the necessary data feed without needing any graphical interface.
