Search Real-Time News Without Leaving Your Browser Search news on any topic directly from your browser with the NewsRadar News Search extension, powered by the NewsData.io News API. Instantly discover real-time news, breaking headlines, and historical articles from trusted publishers worldwide without opening another tab or switching to a search engine. Whether you're researching a company, tracking a brand, following financial markets, monitoring cryptocurrency, or simply staying informed, NewsRadar makes it easy to find relevant news in seconds. SEARCH NEWS YOUR WAY Find real-time news using the method that best fits your workflow. Whether you're reading an article, researching a company, or exploring a new topic, you can search without leaving your current webpage. Search News from Selected Text Select any text on a webpage, right-click, and open the extension menu. Choose "Search news for 'Selected Text'" to instantly search for related real-time news from trusted publishers without leaving your current webpage. Search Any Topic or Keyword Use the built-in search bar to look up any keyword, company, person, brand, product, event, country, or topic. Discover News Related to the Current Webpage Turn on Related News in Settings to find news related to the webpage you're currently viewing, making it easy to explore additional context and the latest developments. Choose Your Preferred View Switch between Detailed and Compact modes to personalize your browsing experience. All search results appear in a convenient side panel, allowing you to continue browsing while exploring relevant news without leaving the current webpage. SEARCH BREAKING AND HISTORICAL NEWS Access real-time breaking news as it happens, plus historical articles from thousands of trusted news sources worldwide. Search for virtually anything, including companies, brands, products, people, countries, cities, politics, sports, finance, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, technology, entertainment, health, science, or any keyword you're interested in. POWERFUL SEARCH FILTERS Quickly narrow your results using advanced search filters. Filter news by language, country, category, and publication date on any plan. Region, timeframe, sentiment, and tag filters are available on paid NewsData.io plans, and the extension shows you which filters your plan supports. RICH NEWS RESULTS Every news article includes the information you need at a glance, including the featured image, headline, publisher, and publication date. Sentiment analysis is included on paid NewsData.io plans. You can save articles for later, share them with others, or open the original article directly on the publisher's website. Bookmark Articles Bookmark important articles to access them later without searching again. Build your own collection of news stories and revisit them anytime from within the extension. Create Topic Alerts Stay updated with the topics that matter most by creating keyword-based alerts for companies, brands, products, people, or any topic. Enable alerts in Settings and receive notifications whenever new articles matching your alerts are published, so you never miss important updates. You can also create alerts directly from any webpage. Simply select the text, right-click, open the extension menu, and choose "Set alert for 'Selected Text'" to start tracking news for the selected keyword or phrase instantly. QUICK & EASY SETUP Getting started only takes a few seconds. Create a free NewsData.io account, generate your free API key, add it to the extension settings, and start searching real-time news immediately. 1. Get a free API key at https://newsdata.io/register 2. Open NewsRadar Settings and paste it in 3. Press Test — you're ready to search Your API key is encrypted and stored on your own device. It is never sent anywhere except NewsData.io. ABOUT CREDITS Every search uses one NewsData.io API credit, and the extension shows your remaining balance in the panel footer so there are no surprises. Two optional features can use credits in the background. Both are OFF by default — switch them on in Settings whenever you want them: Topic alerts — checks your watched keywords on a schedule Related news — looks for articles related to the page you're on WHY NEWSRADAR ASKS FOR SITE ACCESS The search panel and the select-text-to-search button have to work on whatever page you happen to be reading, which is why Chrome asks about access to websites during installation. NewsRadar does not read the content of the pages you visit. It uses the text you deliberately select, and — only if you switch on the optional Related News feature — the page title and keywords, in order to find matching articles. WHY CHOOSE NEWSRADAR NEWS SEARCH? NewsRadar News Search helps you discover real-time news from trusted publishers worldwide without leaving your current webpage. Search breaking news as it happens, monitor ongoing stories, and explore historical news — all from a fast, lightweight browser extension. Key features include: Real-time news search from global publishers Search news directly from any webpage Highlight text and search instantly Right-click context menu integration Search news related to the current webpage Breaking news and historical news archive support Advanced search filters with sentiment analysis on paid plans Bookmark and share articles Keyword-based topic alerts and notifications Side panel browsing for a seamless experience Free API access with your NewsData.io account Whether you're tracking breaking news, researching companies, monitoring brands, following financial markets, or staying updated on the latest developments, NewsRadar News Search delivers relevant real-time news exactly when you need it — without interrupting your browsing experience.
