What you can automate

What can the Super News Make integration do?

The Super News Make integration lets Make read content through Super News inside a scenario, which is the automation you build in Make: a chain of modules that runs on a schedule. A module is one brick of that chain. Super News brings six of them, all actions or searches, so the scenario starts from a schedule or from another app.

A watch list of sites. Going by the module names, since the docs describe none of them: Get a Website List hands back the sites available to you, and Get Updates of a Specified Website then asks for the new content of one of them. Put a module from another app after it to store or share what comes back.

A topic search. Search a Content Across The Web runs a search and returns zero, one or several items. Make calls each item a bundle, and every bundle flows into the next module on its own.

A trending feed. Get a Network Hot Content fetches what Super News labels hot content, and Get Data of a Specified Website reads what it holds about a single site when you need details.

Be honest with yourself about one limit: the Make documentation says it cannot describe Super News in full, because too little public information exists about the app. Expect to discover the fields by running each module once. If a need falls outside the six modules, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the API with the same connection. Super News may also have an n8n node; the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick a tool, and our Make training covers the editor from zero. When a run fails, start with Make troubleshooting.

Connect

How do you connect Super News to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Super News module

    In your scenario, search for Super News, pick any of its modules and click Create a connection. A connection is your Super News account linked to Make once, then reused by every Super News module.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Giving it a name is optional, but it helps later when you run several accounts or share scenarios with a teammate. Something that says which account it is works fine.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Either approve Make on the Super News page that opens, or paste the key Super News gives you, depending on what the window asks for. Then click Save and the module is ready to fill.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Super News

GoalWhen the scenario runs on its schedule, Make lists your Super News websites and fetches the latest updates of the one you choose.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since Super News has no trigger, this first module will run on a schedule.

  2. 02

    Add Get a Website List

    Search for Super News, choose Get a Website List and click Create a connection to link your account. Fill the fields the module shows you.

  3. 03

    Add Get Updates of a Specified Website

    Click the + on the right of the first module and pick Get Updates of a Specified Website. Map the website from the list returned by the previous module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open the bubble on each module to read the bundles it received: this is where you learn what fields Super News sends back.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Add a module from another app afterwards to store or send the updates.

Modules

What each Super News module does

Super News gives you 6 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Super News1

Get Data of a Specified Website

ActionIn the docs only

This action asks Super News about one website you name and passes the answer on as a single bundle. The documentation does not say which details come back, so a Run once shows you.

When to use it
you already know the site and want its information in hand before a later module writes it somewhere.
Watch out
judging by its name, it targets one site per run; to cover several, feed it a list first.
Super News2

Get Updates of a Specified Website

ActionIn the docs only

With this action, Make requests the new content Super News has for one chosen website, so your scenario works from fresh material instead of a static profile.

When to use it
you follow a competitor blog or an industry site and want its latest posts pushed to a sheet or a chat.
Watch out
the documentation does not say how far back updates go, so check a test run before relying on it.
Super News3

Get a Network Hot Content

ActionIn the docs only

Going by its name, this module returns what Super News treats as hot content, which saves you from picking sources yourself when you just want what is trending.

When to use it
a newsletter editor wants a starting pool of popular stories to review before writing.
Watch out
the documentation does not define what hot means for Super News, so read a few bundles from Run once and judge whether the selection fits your audience.
Super News4

Get a Website List

ActionIn the docs only

As its name suggests, Get a Website List gives you the sites available in Super News, which is the easiest way to avoid typing site names by hand in the next module.

When to use it
at the start of a scenario, so a following module can work through each site in turn.
Watch out
every module that runs on the result counts operations, one execution of one module on one bundle, which is what Make counts on your plan.
Super News5

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

This module opens the rest of the Super News API to you, using the connection you already created, when none of the five other modules covers what you need.

When to use it
Super News offers a request that has no dedicated module and you know the endpoint.
Watch out
the Make documentation for Super News is limited, so you need the API reference of Super News itself to write the call.
Super News6

Search a Content Across The Web

SearchIn the docs only

You get search results on a topic of your choice, returned as separate bundles, so each result can be handled on its own by the modules that follow.

When to use it
a marketing team tracks mentions of a product name or a subject it writes about.
Watch out
as a search, it can return zero, one or many items; plan for the empty case so the next module does not fail.

FAQ

Super News and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Super News Make integration free?
Yes, Super News is a standard app, so you can use it from the Make Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum interval of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one execution of one module on one bundle. Any account or subscription Super News itself requires is outside what Make covers.
02What do you need to connect Super News to Make?
You need a Super News account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no prerequisite and no official connection steps for Super News, so the generic flow applies: add a Super News module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the Super News page or paste the key Super News gives you, and click Save. The connection is then reused by all six modules, so you only do this once per account.
03Does the Super News Make integration react in real time?
No, because Super News has no trigger module in Make. A scenario built on it starts from its schedule, set on the clock of the first module, every 15 minutes by default, or 1 minute at the lowest on a paid plan. You can also open the scenario with a trigger from another app and place the Super News modules after it. Either way, Make asks Super News for content when the scenario runs rather than being told the moment something is published.
04What if a Super News module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends a request to any endpoint of the Super News API with the connection you already set up, so you are not limited to the five other modules. Keep in mind that the Make documentation says it cannot describe Super News in full for lack of public information, so you will need the API reference from Super News to build the request. If a result looks wrong, run the scenario once and inspect the bundles before changing anything.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Super News?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, Super News comes with six modules, one of them a generic API call, and a visual editor where Run once shows each bundle as you test. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so check which modules it offers there before deciding. Base the choice on the modules you need and the tool you already know, since nothing here ranks one above the other on speed or price.
