Ask HN: What would be your ideal API for news content?

There are APIs like Daylife, NYTimes, Guardian, even Zemanta.

What would your idea API for the news look like? What's missing in the existing solutions?

Images? Video? More customization? More analytics and number crunching abilities?

Let me send a URL and retrieve the unique news story that it's a part of, or perhaps multiple news stories with confidence intervals.

I don't know of a single API that currently does this.
