What is the News API?
The News API provides structured access to official JKT48 news and announcements — aggregated from JKT48's official channels and delivered as clean, queryable JSON.
Instead of scraping the JKT48 website or monitoring multiple social media accounts for announcements, the News API aggregates official content into a consistent format ready to use in your app.
Each news item in the response includes:
- Title — the headline of the announcement or news article
- Content — the full announcement text or summary
- Category — the type of news (member news, event announcement, schedule update, media appearance, general announcement)
- Published date — when the news was officially published
- Source URL — link to the original announcement on the official JKT48 site or channel
- Related members — members mentioned or featured in the news item where identifiable
- Images — any images included in the official announcement
The News API is the cleanest way to build a JKT48 news feed, announcement notification system, or content aggregator — without maintaining your own scraper or monitoring multiple official channels manually.
