What is the best news aggregation api?
Free is not a requirement, I require an enterprise type solution.
Equal consideration for answers explaining why not to use a given service.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The way Google gets around this for Google News is that Google does not serve up whole articles directly on its website. Google News simply gives people links to stories with a little bit of information about those links.
If this is for your own personal enjoyment then this is obviously not an issue, but I can't think of why you would need an API for your personal project. In that case you could use Google News with email alerts for search terms. I realize that this probably doesn't help you, but I just want to confirm the sort of project you have in mind.

Magpie is super easy to use. I love it. In litterally 2 lines, you can fetch an RSS feed. Then, it's quite easy to phrase the contents of the RSS feed into an array to aggregate as you'd like.
Here's how I use it:
I like to supplement my blog with related news from other related sites. I've setup magpie to pull in the RSS feeds 4 times a day and then apply some simple logic (if title contains, if story contains, that sort of thing) and give credit to the original source. I write my new aggregated feed and have my copy of wordpress setup to import that feed.

There are a lot of examples which you can copy and extend, if that helps.
Pipes is awesome, but its not a real solution as much as its cool as hell. Defining new criteria is a bit of a pain and you would need a fair bit of training if you were a jschool type.
I'm looking for an enterprise type solution.
I hope that helps. Not really familiar with the other "news aggregation" APIs, but Google has the best search algorithms of which I know. Many features are not explicitly explained by them so you may want to google "google tips" or "google secrets" to unlock its full potential.
www.google.com of course

Thanks for the Answer!
Let me state, free is not a requirement.
I should have specified that in the case of news stories I am simply looking for the headline + intro rss style content, these days even that has come under legal attack.
The problem with Google's feed, as I recall, is the inconsistencies in markup/format. Its a direct republishing of the orig rss, which is all over the place, feeding this into interface is not optimal to say the least.
