Groxbot + Currents API

Currents News API provides access to the latest news articles from various sources worldwide, supporting multiple languages and categories.

Get started

How a Bot uses Currents API

5 Currents API tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.

  • Use Currents API the way you would: open it, do the task, come back with evidence.
  • Work stays in the Bot thread. Anything leaving Groxbot needs your OK.
  • If it hits a login, 2FA, or a paywall, it stops on the computer for you.

Never without you

  • Change live Currents API settings
  • Message anyone outside the Bot thread

First message

Use Currents API for this task. Stay in the thread. Stop if you would change anything live.

Tools a Bot can call

A sample from the Currents API toolkit. The Bot calls these after you connect. Writes that would go live still wait for approval.

  • List Latest News
  • Activities Watch
  • Get Entity Usage Reports
  • List Users
  • Search News Articles

Jobs that use Currents API

  • Talent scout — Source candidates from the brief. Never email anyone without approval. End with a shortlist and why.
  • Bug reproduction — Reproduce the bug from the report. Write steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture. Do not change production.
  • Chief of staff — A source-linked digest of Slack, inbox, calendar, and notes — only the items that map to this week’s priorities. Does not send. Does not move meetings.

FAQ

Does Groxbot have a native Currents API integration?

Connect Currents API under Plugins when it is listed. If not, the Bot still has a real computer — it can work in Currents API in the browser the way you would, then stop when it needs a login or approval.

Can a Bot change live Currents API data?

Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Currents API writes wait for you.

Do I need a workflow builder?

No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
