CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the World News API integration exposes
The World News API Agent App exposes 5 provider-backed actions for data and social work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent resolve a location string to latitude and longitude with world news api, retrieve top-news clusters for one source country and optional language or date filters, and retrieve one or more articles by identifier from world news api. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses API key. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected World News API account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Geo Coordinates
Resolve a location string to latitude and longitude with World News API. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_geo_coordinatesVerify with Get Top News
Retrieve top-news clusters for one source country and optional language or date filters. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
get_top_newsSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate World News API with explicit limits
- Authorize World News API with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- The current action names appear read-oriented, but returned World News API data may still be sensitive and should be minimized before it enters model context.
- Do not infer permission from catalog visibility. Workspace policy, connection identity, and upstream authorization still govern execution.
- No provider scope string is declared on the sampled actions. Verify the connected account's actual permissions in World News API rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the World News API task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
World News API key sent with the x-api-key request header. Create an account and get your key from the console at https://worldnewsapi.com/console/.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.

EVIDENCE AND AVAILABILITY
Provider reference
Action names, input fields, authentication types, and counts on this page are generated from the Working Machines provider catalog. Provider behavior, quotas, object semantics, account eligibility, and regional availability remain governed by World News API.
