API: onthepluto data

Everything the site counts is available as JSON: who writes how much about one event in different parts of the world, which topics coincided, what people suddenly started reading. No key, no sign-up.

Free. When you show the data, link to onthepluto.com.
Answers refresh every 1–10 minutes, so there is no point asking more often. The server takes at most 10 requests a second from one address.
These are counts of headlines and coincidences, not claims about causes.
Headlines belong to their outlets; answers carry only the headline, the outlet and a link to the original.
