Description

The endpoint will return the top stories (or clusters) for a given time interval. The generated top stories automatically group together articles based on their semantic similarity, in order to understand which are the hour’s/day’s top topics.

Currently, only two fixed time intervals are supported:

• last hour (“interval”: “0”)
• last day (“interval”: “1”) with last day being the default, if the interval is not specified.

The results of this API call depend on the websites processed by TrustServista. Contact us if you want to add your own websites list to your account.
