  title: Aligned News REST API
  description: |
    Read-only REST API for the Aligned News AI intelligence platform.

    The API exposes Aligned News' Stories, Signals, Reports, Bundles, the
    section-grouped news feed, and full-text search. All endpoints require an
    API key passed as `Authorization: Bearer alnw_...`. API keys are issued to
    Pro and Enterprise subscribers from their account page at
    https://alignednews.com/account.

    Note: this specification was reconstructed by inspecting the Aligned News
    web application bundle and the published MCP server reference implementation
    (https://alignednews.com/mcp-server.ts). The provider does not currently
    publish a machine-readable API description.
