Is there a way to get news relevant to a particular country?

[Shahood ul Hassan]

Hi,

I've tried to use content search by giving country names in query (q=countryname) but it provides results where the country names have been used anywhere in the body of the news. Mostly, it aint really relevant to the country in question.

What i really need is that i can get news relating to a particular country and then sort these further according to sections involved in these, before filtering them down further on the basis of different parameters.  Is that really possible?

Hi,

You can use the tag associated to a country, for instance world/france for what is about France.

Regards,

Mariot

Dear Mariot,

Thanks for the response!

However, theres some sort of a problem in this solution.

I've used http://content.guardianapis.com/world/pakistan?api-key=test&page-size=100 to search for news relating to Pakistan. Somehow the content is different as compared to the one available at https://www.theguardian.com/world/pakistan

The API retrieves only 3 news relating to Oct & Nov 17 each, whereas the web site pulls a lot more than that.

What are we missing here?
