Indonesia news API
Coverage about Indonesia from 219 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=ID to filter.
What coverage of Indonesia looks like
High publication frequency from a moderate number of prolific outlets, weighted toward commodities, domestic politics and regional Southeast Asian affairs.
The media landscape
A handful of very prolific digital publishers and broadcast groups produce most of the volume, with a smaller layer of business and commodity titles. Publication frequency is high and editorial depth varies considerably between the two layers, so article count and reporting quality are only loosely related.
Does this cover articles published in Indonesia, or about it?
About it. The country filter matches the places an article is about, so a wire
piece about Indonesia filed from London is in scope and a Indonesia outlet writing
about somewhere else is not. To filter by where the publisher is based, use
publisher_country instead, and combine the two when you want domestic
reporting about the domestic market.
How do I filter news to Indonesia?
Outlet spread and article count diverge more than usual — a topic can look well covered when a handful of publishers are producing nearly all of it.
GET /search?country=ID&mode=hybrid&from=2026-07-24&limit=20 Identifiers are FIPS 10-4, not ISO 3166 — why that matters.
What catches people out with Indonesia coverage?
A handful of very prolific publishers generate most of the volume, and the publishing rhythm drops sharply overnight and at weekends. Both effects mean the time a query runs and the outlets it reaches change the result materially, and neither is visible from the totals alone.

Which outlets cover Indonesia most?
The most active publisher on this country is tribunnews.com at roughly
36% of the coverage, and the three busiest
— tribunnews.com, kompas.com, antaranews.com — carry about 57% between them.
That share is worth reading before the volume figure: concentrated coverage
means a large result count can still be a small number of newsrooms. Combine
country with source to narrow to publishers you trust,
or with language to separate domestic reporting from international.

What this market is best for
Best for commodities, energy transition, domestic politics and regional Southeast Asian affairs. Weakest for technology and international coverage. The concentration among a few prolific publishers means outlet spread deserves checking before trusting an apparent breadth of coverage.
Narrowing further
Two constraints do most of the work on this axis. Adding a language separates domestic reporting from international commentary about Indonesia, which an unscoped country query returns together. Adding a signal range with a lower bound narrows to articles written in a particular register — supply disruption, financial stress, conflict — rather than to articles that merely mention the subject.
