World News

News1 credit/cellSheets · Excel
=VERVE("news", …)

Pull live headlines into a spreadsheet. =VERVE("news", …) returns titles, summaries and sources by the row, auto-refreshing — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 300+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE()function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — these inputs, and the values they land in your sheet.

Example resultpulled live from APIVerve1 credit / cell

A living headlines column

Pull current items into a column with =VERVE("news", …) and let auto-refresh keep the list fresh for a briefing or monitoring sheet.

Annotate with context

Add World News beside a dataset to stamp rows with the events, holidays, or timing that explain them.

Filter what matters

Combine the result with FILTER or conditional formatting to surface only the entries you care about.

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("news", …)
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same function, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE("news", …)

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

  • Date=VERVE("news", …, "date")
  • Category=VERVE("news", …, "category")
  • Article Count=VERVE("news", …, "articleCount")
  • Articles=VERVE("news", …, "articles")

World News, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull World News into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("news", …) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each World News cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point World News at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("news", …) down like any spreadsheet function.
Does World News work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
World News is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; World News is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put World News in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
