Changelog

Many improvements, here's the rundown:

• Over 1,000 new sources added.
• We now cover 210 countries (50 more than before) and 86 languages (46 more than before).
• Title and content can now be searched separately using the text-match-indexes parameter.
• Search news sources by name: We often get asked whether a certain source is being monitored, with this new endpoint you can find out.
• Suggest news sources (not on free plan): if you require a source that is not currently being monitored, you can suggest it via the API.
• Request latency halved since we turned on Cloudflare's Argo routing.
