By default, News Integration for Supplier Lifecycle Operations retrieves the supplier news and activities using the Microsoft Bing News Search API.

However, you have the flexibility to use any API of your choice to dynamically retrieve the supplier news and activities.

The process for configuring a custom news API includes the following tasks:

1. [Create a REST message for a custom API](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OpZ65oMaFM5NF3VafiHtsQ "Create a REST message request and send it to a custom API endpoint to fetch the latest supplier news.").
2. [Add and configure the Get News data resource in UI Builder](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WCpzjCrEfGh8xJOoq9UbqA "Add and configure the Get News - Composite data resource in UI Builder to dynamically retrieve supplier news in the News and Activity section of the Source-to-Pay Workspace.").
3. [Update the field names in the UX client script](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/B9bqNeLypxSwiXhaqyrZ5A "Update the field names in the UX client script to match the custom field names in the custom API response.").
