Good insights start with relevant data. That’s why we’re introducing our latest addition to the News API: Syndication. This new capability lets you choose exactly the data you need, whether it’s clean data without duplicated content or data that includes syndicated or viral content. This gives you more control over the data you use to generate better insights.
What is the syndication feature?
The syndication feature allows users to select whether they want their data feed to exclude duplicated content or to include highly similar or identical content – with a simple filter. The Webz.io News API groups content with over 90% similarity within a 24-hour window. This allows users to avoid duplication that might clutter their analysis or opt-in to integrate syndicated content.
The syndication feature is now the default mode of all News API searches, excluding identical and highly similar content. Users who require duplicated content can easily include such content in their results by unchecking the “exclude syndicate” box.
Why it matters
Whether you’re a media intelligence company looking to provide your customers with relevant insights or a press release distributor that provides a detailed exact match pickup report, syndication can help.
With the syndication feature, you can:
- Ditch the duplicates: Eliminate syndicated articles and ensure your analysis remains focused and accurate, free from skewed insights.
- Laser-focus your monitoring: Want to track press releases or a story’s spread? Easily identify syndicated content across media, saving you time and effort.
This is your key to:
- Unparalleled media monitoring: Track brand mentions, competitor activity, and industry trends with relevant data.

How can it be used?
Take control over the data your solution digests:
