Fetch it

bash
curl "https://freenewsapi.ai/v1/search?country=BY&date=today&sort=date&size=20"

No API key, no signup, no quota. The response carries the headline, description, publisher, publication time and the original URL for every article, and the full body text if you ask for it with full_text=true.

Count it

bash
curl "https://freenewsapi.ai/v1/stats?country=BY&top=20"

Returns exactly the breakdown shown on this page: which publishers, which languages, and how the volume splits across the last 90 days. About 200 tokens, which makes it the cheapest way for an agent to decide whether this slice is worth reading.

Country is inferred, not declared. Before counting Belarus articles, read country_source — and add strict_country=true to exclude values derived from an en-US template default.
