It formats results as prompt-optimized strings designed to integrate directly with language models, making it useful for applications that need to augment LLM responses with current events, financial data, or political information. The SDK depends on asgiref, crontab, cryptography, httpx, orjson, and pydantic to handle async operations, scheduling, secure communication, HTTP requests, JSON serialization, and data validation.\n\nThe API surface includes endpoints for news search, high-level event clustering, real-time forecasting, time-series analytics on finance and politics, a deep research agent, a knowledge graph builder, and web search with LLM distillation. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.8 through 3.13, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have an AskNews API key and need to integrate real-time news, forecasts, or analytics into a Python application. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. The main decision point is whether the AskNews API service itself meets your data and cost requirements."},"id":"asknews","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asknews","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asknews.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asknews/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"asknews","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python SDK for AskNews"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":154777,"position":10844,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.56"}
