It looks like newsapi.org is no longer supported in the UK

Is there an article or just from your personal experience?

I have 3 keys all obtained at different times since yesterday my news just shows null.
Not sure what has happened I will try and get a new key.

Did you activate them?

I have just tried to obtain a new key, the response was, we are unable to serve users in the United Kingdom.

@brianmiller1956 -- thanks for the details. Have you attempted to reach out to News API -- it is working here in the USA.

I created a new key via a VPN based in the USA, that did not work either.
Seems it's just the UK they have stopped serving

At the very bottom of the Terms page it says this:

"Users in the United Kingdom
We are unable to serve users in the United Kingdom. If you are based in the United Kingdom, you are not permitted to register for a News API account."

Sorry I did not read that far down.
I am looking for a suitable replacement

Bummer! Maybe bbc news juicer may be an alternative; see https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/projects/juicer/ You have to email them for a key but it appears free for non-commercial use.

I did leave a message on the news-api support contact page but did not get a response. Just as a matter of interest are UK based news sources still available on news-api?

It seems they have stopped processing requests from UK based providers. The serial log upon startup

That is correct. Newsapi.org is no longer allowed to provide news feeds to the UK. This is mentioned on their Terms page.

I tried emailing newsapi, but they seem to be ignoring emails.

I also looked at other providers and I cant see anyone else that supplies a json response in news.
