Newspaper4k

What is the Newspaper4k tool?

The Newspaper4k tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to extract articles via newspaper4k library. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This is a free tool — no API key or external account is needed. It works out of the box when you add it to any agent.
