FIRST News API — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is FIRST News API free to use?

Does FIRST News API need an API key?

FIRST News API requires some form of authentication. Check the provider's documentation for which scheme it expects.

Can I call FIRST News API from browser JavaScript?

Is FIRST News API available over HTTPS?
