are you just trying to get posts from a category?

This is a handy code from the Codex that I keep around. Use this on any custom category page or anywhere on any page, for that matter, to start the loop. Make sure you put your category slug into the right spot in the code.

query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'my-category-slug', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// YOUR STUFF LIKE the_title(); or the_content();
endwhile; endif;

This is NOT a fix to your code, but it answers the question you asked. I think your problem may be in the use of $args inside the loop (seems odd), but if you want me to make sure I might need more of the code or a working example I can see.

AHEM...yeah... I'm an idiot... don't go pasting this around. Use WP_Query!! thanks Pieter.

If you want to display posts from a specific category in the category page, you can use the below given code in your theme's category.php file.

<?php
    if(have_posts()) :
        while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
            <?php
                the_post_thumbnail();
                the_content();    
            ?>
<?php
        endwhile;        
    endif;
?>

If you want to display the same in pages other than category page, just add the following code to the corresponding files.

<?php
    $posts = new WP_Query();
    $posts->query( "category_name='{enter your category slug here}'&posts_per_page=-1" );
    if($posts->have_posts()) :
        while ($posts->have_posts()) : $posts->the_post();
?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
            <?php
                the_post_thumbnail();
                the_content();    
            ?>
<?php
        endwhile;        
    endif;
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

Try below :-

    global $wp_query;

 $args = ('category=news&posts_per_page=-1');

 $myposts = get_posts( $args );


 foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); 

   $result[] =  array(
   "id"=>$post->ID, // changed $args to $post
   "type"=>$post->post_type,
   "url"=>$post->guid);
 endforeach; 

wp_reset_postdata();
print_r($result);

On your theme directory, search category.php. If it doesn't contain, create a new file category.php and paste this code:

<?php if(have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
    <?php the_excerpt();?>
<?php endwhile; else :?>
<?php endif;?>
