Get source of events #15

Hi,

I am trying to track the information flow in news media. Specifically, I download all the articles belonging to a particular event and find out the sources of these articles. For example, articles a,b and c are clustered as one event by EventRegistry. So, I would like to know the source of a, the source of b and the source of c.

But the issue is that the daily limitation on the number of queries for the event with all the articles inside is 2000. It takes one query to download all the articles of each event. Using this approach, I can track the flow of 2000 events per day only.

Is there any way I can download more in one day? The article content is not very important to me. I just need the timestamp and sources of all the articles inside one event. I was thinking about downloading as many articles as possible (that gives me 2000 queries per day * 200 articles per query) and then find out all the articles belonging to the same events on my machine locally. Would this approach work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, there are two options how you can get an increased count. One is to create a paid subscription in which you would pay for the number of the requests that you make and the number of returned items (events, articles). If you are doing this as a researcher with the aim of creating a publication then we offer also an option where we can run the queries for you in exchange for co-authorship on the paper.
