The Guardian
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect The Guardian to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Enter your Guardian Open Platform API key to pull Guardian news content into the PostHog Data warehouse.
You can request a free developer key from the Guardian Open Platform. Free keys are rate-limited (~12 requests/second, ~5,000 requests/day), so an initial backfill of the full content archive can take a while.
