TechSnif

Top stories

Get tech story clusters from across the web. Each story aggregates coverage from multiple outlets (TechCrunch, The Verge, NYT, TechSnif, etc.) and includes links to social discussion (tweets, Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts). Sort by rank (prominence) or newest (most recently seen). Optionally filter by headline tier (1=standard, 2=major, 3=top story), publisher name, discussion platform, topic, or a "since" timestamp, and paginate with offset. Use get_story when you need full details or article

Story detail

Get full details of a story cluster by slug, including all coverage links from every outlet (TechCrunch, NYT, TechSnif, etc.), direct URLs to social discussion posts (exact tweets, Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts, Bluesky posts), and the full TechSnif article text if available. Use this to answer "show me the tweets about this story" or "what outlets covered this". Filter discussion by platform, coverage by publisher, or use brief mode to skip the article body.

Search stories

Full-text search over story cluster headlines and excerpts, ranked by relevance. Returns matching story clusters with coverage links, discussion link counts, and TechSnif article references when available. Use get_story for full detail and article body text. Optionally filter by publisher and paginate with offset.

Tech events

Get upcoming tech industry events (conferences, summits, expos) with dates, locations, and URLs.

TechSnif articles

List TechSnif editorial articles (original coverage written by TechSnif). Filter by category (AI, Startups, Venture, Robotics) or tag, and paginate with offset. Use get_article for the full body text.

Trending articles

Get trending TechSnif editorial articles from the last 48 hours, ranked by coverage heat and recency. Use get_article for the full body text.

Story timeline

Get the ranking history of a story cluster by slug: a time series of snapshots with rank, headline tier, commentary count, and coverage count at each point. Use this to see how a story rose, peaked, or faded across the news cycle.

Story changes

Get story cluster changes since a timestamp: newly appeared clusters and updates to existing ones, each with a change type, a change time, and a story summary. Poll this to stay in sync with the TechSnif feed without refetching everything; pass the returned nextCursor as the next "since" value.

Trending stories

Get story clusters gaining momentum right now, ranked by velocity: how quickly coverage and discussion grew within a recent window. Each story includes its velocity score plus commentary and coverage deltas. Use get_story for full detail.

Coverage leaderboard

Get TechSnif source or author leaderboards: which publications and journalists drive the most tech story coverage. Rank by story count over a 7-day, 30-day, or all-time window, optionally filtered by topic.

Entities

List the companies, people, and products TechSnif tracks across story clusters, with story counts. Only entities linked to at least one story are returned, most-covered first. Pass a returned slug as the entity param of get_top_stories to pull every story about that entity.
