Vietnamese news API
Query Tiếng Việt coverage by keyword, meaning or both. Written in Latin with tone marks . Pass vie as the language filter.
What the coverage looks like
A concentrated domestic press with heavy coverage of manufacturing, foreign investment and infrastructure, reflecting where the economy is growing. Volume is moderate and the outlet set is relatively stable.

| Articles per outlet | 26 |
| ISO-639-3 code | vie |
| Script | Latin with tone marks |
Outlet spread is the number worth watching here, not volume. 67 distinct publishers at roughly 26 articles each describes a very different information environment than the same total produced by a handful of prolific sources — and it is the difference between reaching independent reporting and reading one newsroom repeatedly.
In this sample the most active publisher is baomoi.com, carrying
about 29% of Vietnamese articles on its own, and the three busiest
— baomoi.com, vnexpress.net, dantri.com.vn — account for roughly 39% between
them. That is a concentrated distribution, so a query returning a lot of Vietnamese results may be reaching fewer independent newsrooms than the count implies. Scope by outlet if you need breadth rather than volume.
Script and matching behaviour
Latin script carrying both diacritics and tone marks, which are frequently stripped in URLs, search boxes and informal writing. Vietnamese is written in syllables separated by spaces, so whitespace does not delimit words the way a matcher assumes — multi-syllable words look like multiple tokens.
How to query it
Never assume tone marks are present in text you match against. Semantic mode handles both the stripping and the syllable-versus-word mismatch; keyword mode handles neither well.
Bound every request with a time range regardless of mode. Meaning-based retrieval always returns its best guesses, so an unbounded query produces a confident-looking result set anchored to nothing in particular. If results feed a model rather than a person, collapse to stories as well — one event covered by thirty outlets should cost you one item, not thirty.

Outlets publishing in Vietnamese
The most active publishers in this language, by article count. Use these as an outlet filter when you want to pin a particular market or editorial position rather than taking the whole language.

What catches people out
Tone marks are stripped constantly in URLs, search boxes and informal writing, and Vietnamese is written in syllables separated by spaces, so whitespace does not delimit words the way a matcher assumes. Both problems push in the same direction: exact matching finds a fraction of what exists and gives no indication that it is doing so.
A worked case
Never assume tone marks are present in the text you match against, and use semantic mode so the syllable-versus-word mismatch does not cost you results. For foreign investment and manufacturing coverage, this stream is detailed domestically and thin in English.
Where this language leads
Manufacturing, foreign direct investment, and infrastructure. Coverage of these is detailed domestically and thin in English.
Who queries it, and why
Queried for manufacturing, foreign investment and infrastructure as production shifts into the country. Detailed domestically, thin in English, and growing — a stream whose value is rising faster than its volume.
Reading these numbers
These figures are provisional. They are measured from the public source the index is built from rather than from the index itself, because the query endpoint is not yet reachable from the build. They are the right order of magnitude and the outlets and headlines are real, but they should not be quoted as coverage guarantees until a snapshot taken against the API replaces them.
A page exists for this language because the index carries enough Vietnamese coverage from enough distinct outlets to answer a real question about it. Languages that do not clear that bar deliberately have no page rather than a page that implies coverage which is not there.
