Affiliate Disclosure
Does Best News API for Developers earn money from the providers it reviews?
Yes, in some cases. Best News API for Developers may earn a referral fee or commission when a reader clicks an outbound link to a provider listed on this site and subsequently purchases a service or signs a contract. This is commonly called an affiliate or referral arrangement.
Not all providers listed on this site have an affiliate arrangement with us.
Companies that do are marked with a visible Sponsored label on their
card and review page. Outbound links to those providers carry a rel="sponsored"
attribute in the HTML, which is disclosed to search engines in line with Google's guidelines.
How does this affect our reviews and ratings?
Editorial ratings and review content are produced independently of any commercial arrangement. The presence or absence of an affiliate relationship does not determine which providers are included in our directory, what rating they receive, or what is written in their review.
Specifically:
- We do not accept payment to influence editorial ratings.
- We do not accept payment to publish positive review content.
- Companies cannot purchase inclusion in the directory.
- A provider with an affiliate arrangement is reviewed using the same criteria as a provider with no commercial relationship.
How can I tell which links are affiliate links?
On provider cards and review pages, look for the Sponsored badge. Any "Visit site" or outbound link associated with a sponsored provider is an affiliate link. Non-sponsored provider links carry no commission.
Why does Best News API for Developers use affiliate links?
Affiliate income allows us to invest time in researching, writing, and maintaining independent reviews without charging readers a subscription fee. We believe this model is preferable to paywalls, provided commercial relationships are fully disclosed and do not influence editorial content. That is our commitment on this site.
What should I do before signing up with any provider listed here?
All reviews on this site are based on publicly available information: provider websites, published case studies, press releases, and industry sources. We verify facts where possible and use neutral language for claims we cannot confirm directly.
Regardless of what any review says, you should:
- Verify current quotas, pricing and rate limits directly with the provider.
- Test the free tier or trial against your own queries before committing.
- Read the licence terms on storage, display and AI use of article content.
- Conduct your own due diligence appropriate to the scale and sensitivity of your project.
