Technology and communications news API
Computing, networks, software and digital infrastructure. Pass topic=WB_133_INFORMATION_AND_COMMUNICATION_TECHNOLOGIES to filter.
What this covers
Product and platform coverage, infrastructure investment, connectivity policy and the industry around them. English-language coverage dominates volume, but manufacturing and component reporting is stronger in East Asian markets. Connectivity and infrastructure policy forms a third distinct thread alongside product and manufacturing coverage, reported mainly in the domestic press of markets building out networks and almost absent from technology media elsewhere. It follows regulatory and spectrum-allocation calendars rather than product cycles, which makes it the most predictable of the three to monitor.
Querying it
Pair with a country filter to reach supply-chain and manufacturing reporting rather than product coverage. Taiwanese, South Korean and Japanese outlets carry component and capacity detail that English-language technology press summarises days later.
GET /stories?topic=WB_133_INFORMATION_AND_COMMUNICATION_TECHNOLOGIES&mode=hybrid&from=2026-07-24&limit=20What catches people out
Product-launch coverage crowds out everything else in an unscoped query, and it is the least informative material under this topic. The signal range or an outlet constraint is what surfaces the industrial reporting.
Who publishes on it
English-language technology press dominates volume with product and platform coverage; East Asian business and trade outlets carry component, capacity and manufacturing reporting that is far more specific and appears earlier.
What it is best for
Best for supply chain and manufacturing intelligence when paired with Taiwan, South Korea or Japan. Weakest as a general technology feed, where product launch coverage crowds out everything and carries almost no durable information.
Monitoring it over time
Product cycles drive volume in the English-language stream and manufacturing cycles drive it in the East Asian one, so the two halves peak at different times for unrelated reasons. Querying them together produces a series with no interpretable shape; querying them separately gives one feed about what is being sold and another about what is being built.
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.
