Energy and extractives news API
Power generation, fuels, mining and resource extraction. Pass topic=WB_507_ENERGY_AND_EXTRACTIVES to filter.
What this covers
Generation capacity, fuel supply, pricing, extraction projects and the policy around them. This spans both the industrial reporting and the political coverage of energy policy, which are quite different bodies of work sharing one identifier.
Querying it
Combine with the energy signal to weight toward industrial reporting, or with a country filter to isolate policy coverage. German, Norwegian and Gulf outlets carry the most operational detail; English-language coverage is more policy-weighted.
GET /stories?topic=WB_507_ENERGY_AND_EXTRACTIVES&mode=hybrid&from=2026-07-24&limit=20What catches people out
Energy coverage spikes around price moves and around political announcements, and the two are hard to separate by volume alone. Query the signal range rather than the topic alone when you want reporting on physical supply rather than commentary on policy.
Who publishes on it
Trade titles covering power generation and fuels, national business press, and the general press when prices move or policy changes. Norwegian, Gulf and German outlets carry the most operational detail; the general press is almost entirely policy and price commentary.
What it is best for
Best for tracking physical supply, capacity and project development, especially when paired with a producing country. Weakest for demand-side and consumer energy questions, which are covered sporadically and mostly at the point of a price change.
Monitoring it over time
Watch the split between policy and operational coverage first, because they respond to entirely different drivers. Policy volume follows legislative and summit calendars; operational volume follows outages, maintenance windows and weather. A single feed mixing both produces a series where nothing correlates with anything, and separating them by signal range usually makes both halves legible again.
Signals that pair with it
Topic filtering answers what an article is about. Signals answer how strongly it reads that way and in what register, so combining them is usually sharper than either alone.
