The client.news resource gives you programmatic access to two distinct news feeds in the Star Wars Combine universe. The Galactic News Service (GNS) carries in-character news written by players, while sim news carries out-of-character announcements and updates from the game administration. Both feeds expose a list method for pagination and a get method for fetching individual articles by numeric ID.

Galactic News Service (GNS)

The GNS is the primary in-character news feed — player-authored articles covering galactic events, faction announcements, and political developments.

news.gns.list()

Returns a paginated list of GNS articles, ordered by publication date.
start_index
number
default:"1"
1-based index of the first article to return.
item_count
number
default:"50"
Number of articles per page.

news.gns.get()

Retrieves the full content of a single GNS article by its numeric ID.
id
number
required
The numeric ID of the GNS article. Note this is a number, not a string UID.
GNS article IDs are plain numbers, not the "type:id" string format used by entity UIDs elsewhere in the SDK.

Sim news

Sim news carries out-of-character content: game updates, rule changes, event announcements, and administration notices. Articles can be filtered by category.

news.simNews.list()

Returns a paginated list of sim news posts.
category
string
Optional category filter. Omit to return posts across all categories.
start_index

default:"1"
1-based index of the first post to return.
item_count

Number of posts per page.

news.simNews.get()
