NYTimesSource: Get feed data from NYTimes Article Search (http://developer.nytimes.com/docs/read/article_search_api_v2).

Description

Excerpt from the website: "With the NYTimes Article Search API, you can search New York Times articles from 1981 to today, retrieving headlines, abstracts, lead paragraphs, links to associated multimedia and other article metadata. Along with standard keyword searching, the API also offers faceted searching. The available facets include Times-specific fields such as sections, taxonomic classifiers and controlled vocabulary terms (names of people, organizations and geographic locations)." Feed retrieval is limited to 1000 items (or 100 pages).
