API Keys

In order to be able to use the MediaCloud News Scraper we need to be provided with a MediaCloud API key which is limited to 20,000 links a week (even though we are experiencing that the API is retrieving more than those links).

1.- Enter the MediaCloud API key webpage and fill in the sign up form:

When doing the query use lower case to do the queries.

Limitations!!: If You are experiencing that the API is limiting your queries go back to the Mediacloud profile and reset the API Key which will give you a new API Key in exchange or create a new account to obtain a second API Key.

For doing advance queries check the following Query Guide
