Use focused keywords

Short, specific keywords return better results than full sentences.
# Good
q=bitcoin+ETF+approval

# Avoid
q=what+is+the+latest+news+about+bitcoin+ETF+approval

Filter by language and country

If your use case targets a specific region, always pass language and country to reduce noise.
# Korean news only
q=삼성전자&language=korean&country=KR

# US English news only
q=federal+reserve&language=english&country=US

Use sortBy=date for breaking news

When recency matters more than relevance, switch the sort order.
q=earthquake&sortBy=date&timespan=24h

Limit results for performance

The default limit is 10. For real-time use cases, reduce it to 3–5 to keep response times low.
q=nvidia&limit=3
