Build TheNewsAPI forms with Paperform

TheNewsAPI is a global news aggregation API covering 40,000+ sources across 50+ countries. Access live and historical news articles, top stories, headlines by category, and similar article discovery.

Paperform connects to TheNewsAPI directly through Stepper workflows.

How TheNewsAPI connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 7 TheNewsAPI actions and 1 trigger, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a TheNewsAPI step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to TheNewsAPI
