May I know the how many category news support in the api
(ex sports, business)

Hi Hari Krishnan,

It sounds like you’re looking to know what the different categories are for news available from the content api, but I don’t think there’s a good answer to this question because how pieces of content are categories in the API is a bit more complicated. Each piece of content is labelled with a number of tags, some of which indicate the type of news it is. For example, this piece currently has 8 tags:

- sport/olympic-games-2024
- sport/olympic-games
- sport/sport
- sport/athletics
- type/article
- tone/news
- profile/guardian-sport

- tracking/commissioningdesk/uk-sport

Here, the presence of type/article shows this is an article, and sport/sport shows it is an article about sport. The API documentation describes how to use the tags endpoint to find the tags that currently exist, and you can then search for content with those tags by using the “tag” query parameter on the content endpoint. I hope this helps: let me know if you’re stuck!

Best wishes,

Emily
