According to Musk, the initial production of the electric pickup truck will begin with a four-motor variant with \u201cindependent, ultra fast response torque control of each wheel,\u201d the tweet reads. In response, Twitter users asked if the Cybertruck could turn like a tank. Musk said that thanks to both the rear and front wheel steer, the electric truck will not only be able to turn like a tank, but also drive diagonally like a crab. According to Electrek, this change could be Tesla's reaction to what its competitors do. Since the introduction of Tesla\u2019s novelty, the market for electric pickup trucks has significantly evolved. Currently, one electric pickup on the market can turn like a tank \u2013 the Rivian R1T, while GMC's Hummer EV can drive diagonally. Following the announcement of Tesla Cybertruck in 2019, the company announced three configurations of the pickup truck: the entry-level model with one motor, the one with two motors, and the one with three. Rumor has it that the company intends to abandon the single-motor version altogether. In this case, Tesla Cybertruck will be sold with two, three, and four motors. Musk has promised to provide an update on the pickup's roadmap on the next earnings call. The production of Tesla Cybertruck is expected to begin at the end of 2022, and its mass production is slated to start in 2023.","title":"Tesla to Release a Four-Motor Version of Cybertruck","url":"https:\/\/internetprotocol.co\/hitech\/2021\/12\/07\/tesla-to-release-a-four-motor-cybertruck\/"}],"number":10,"offset":0}

The World News API gives you access to thousands of news sources in over 50 languages from over 150 countries. News are semantically tagged allowing for semantic news search like never before.

Search International News Sources

The News API searches through thousands of news outlets world wide allowing you to get multiple views on the same issue. News is indexed in real time so you will get breaking news in the API as well as historic data.

Search by Location everywhere on Earth

News texts often mention locations such as cities, neighborhoods, or points of interest. We tag these locations which allows you to search for news that mention any location within a certain area.

Semantic search and text filtering combined

Semantic search allows you to find entities without caring about the exact spelling or synonyms used. For example, finding news about the USA you can search for Location:USA and all news mentioning the USA will be returned, no matter if they talk about the “US”, the “United States” or the “United States of America”.

You can also search for pure text matches, phrases, or exclude words from your search.

Filter by Source Country and Language

We index news in over 50 languages from over 150 countries. With simple country and language filters you can limit your search to the exact country and language. For example, you could search for Spanish news that originate in the USA or French news from Canada.

Combining country filter with other parameters allows you to dig really deep into the news coverage, e.g. you could compare news about a polarizing topic from different countries.

Search news for within time frames

Relevance of news is often short lived but new coverage is always in the context of what happened before. The API allows you to filter news by publish time to analyze content over time, for example, to detect shifts in opinions or amounts of news coverage of a certain topic over time.

Search by Positive and Negative News Coverage

News items (currently limited to English and German) are analyzed with AI trained sentiment classifiers assigning each news an overall value between -1 (negative) and +1 (positive).
