Why use it?

The Content API can be interesting for the following use cases:

News Aggregaters: These services can use the API to fetch news from SRG SSR and provide it to users alongside other sources. This allows for a more comprehensive coverage, especially for users interested in Swiss events and news.
Media Monitoring Services: Companies offering media monitoring services can use the API to track mentions of specific companies, products, or topics in the Swiss media.
Historical Research: The API can be invaluable to historians or social scientists interested in studying Swiss culture, politics, and society over time. The articles dating back to 1941 provide a rich source of data for this kind of research. For this UseCase we have a better API the Archive API

How it works?

This API allows you to filter articles by date, business unit (e.g. SRF, RTS, etc.), and genre. See the full API spec for more information. Explore first the genre and with that information you got better results.
