Search news articles about companies via Apollo's sales intelligence database, pay-per-call over MPP/Tempo.
What it does
This endpoint provides news article search powered by Apollo.io's sales intelligence platform, exposed through the Locus MPP (Micropayment Protocol) gateway. Given one or more Apollo organization IDs, it returns news articles associated with those companies. Results are paginated with configurable page size and page number.
The endpoint is part of a broader Apollo suite available through Locus MPP that includes people enrichment, organization enrichment, people search, organization search, and job postings. The news-search endpoint specifically costs $0.005 per call (5000 base units of pathUSD on Tempo L2, which uses 6 decimals). Payment is settled via the Tempo method with a one-shot charge intent, meaning each API call is independently paid for.
The endpoint accepts POST requests with a JSON body containing a required `organization_ids` field (Apollo organization IDs) and optional pagination parameters (`per_page` and `page`). Note that the probe did not return a 402 challenge on HEAD/GET — this is expected since the endpoint only accepts POST. No response schema or example responses were available in the crawled material, so the exact shape of returned news article data is not documented here.

Quality
The OpenAPI spec provides request schema and pricing info, but the probe did not capture a 402 challenge (endpoint is POST-only, probed with HEAD/GET). No response schema or example responses are available. Crawled pages all returned 404 with generic Locus error messages, providing no additional documentation.
Warnings
- —Probe returned 404 on HEAD and GET — endpoint likely only accepts POST, so liveness is not confirmed by the probe
- —No response schema documented; the shape of returned news data is unknown
- —The organization_ids field is typed as string in the schema but the description implies it should be an array — actual format is ambiguous
- —No crawled documentation was retrievable from the Locus gateway; all auxiliary pages returned 404
