baba APIs: Hebrew language and Israeli news for your application

Two APIs from baba, built on the same products readers use every day. baba HebrewCore is the Hebrew API the baba translator app runs on; the baba News API is baba's Israeli news API.

baba (itsbaba.com) makes two developer APIs. baba HebrewCore is the Hebrew language API, the same engine the baba Hebrew translator app runs on: translation, protected values, ICU plurals, nikud, transliteration, RTL display, language detection and a Clinical API, with a free plan of 100,000 characters a month. The baba News APIis baba's Israeli news API: 58 Israeli outlets, the Hebrew press translated into English, and stories clustered with the left, center and right split, from $99 a month after a 14-day trial with no card.
