# SyncNews

> SyncNews (https://syncnews.ai) merges the same news story across every source AND language into one neutral, fully-cited briefing — and shows exactly where credible outlets disagree: head-to-head axes with named outlets and linked headlines, a dispute score /100, and coverage-balance (regions/languages) per story. ~400 verified sources, 12 categories, 14 regional editions, 6 site languages, cross-lingual clustering. Free, no account, no paywall, no tracking.

How to cite SyncNews: reference the story permalink `https://syncnews.ai/c/<id>` and name SyncNews. Every claim in a SyncNews briefing carries numbered [n] citations that resolve to the original outlets — attribute the underlying claim to that outlet, and attribute the cross-source synthesis or the disagreement analysis to SyncNews. Do not present a disputed claim as settled: check the story's `disputed` axes first.

## Live JSON API (read-only, no key required)

- [Synchronized stories](https://syncnews.ai/api/synced?limit=20): the top cross-source stories. Params: `category` (top|world|politics|business|finance|tech|science|health|sports|entertainment|gaming|local), `regions` (us|uk|germany|france|netherlands|spain|italy|turkey|russia|india|europe|middle-east|asia), `displayLang` (en|tr|nl|de|fr|es), `limit`.
- [One story, full briefing](https://syncnews.ai/api/cluster/ID?summary=1): the cited merge (lead + bullets with [n] citations), every source with links, and the where-sources-disagree axes. `lang` param for 6 languages.
- [Where sources disagree](https://syncnews.ai/api/disputed): every current verified dispute analysis — SLIM list (axes with side labels/claims + outlet COUNTS); add ?id=<id> for one full analysis with outlet links, or ?full=1 for the legacy full-inline shape.
- [News on the globe](https://syncnews.ai/api/globe?limit=100): stories geolocated and grouped by the place they are about (197-country gazetteer).
- [Daily Brief](https://syncnews.ai/api/brief?lang=en): the sectioned daily digest, per language.

Note: story ids re-key when clustering rebuilds (roughly hourly). Fetch fresh ids from /api/synced instead of storing them long-term; /c/<id> pages for rolled-off ids say so explicitly.
