News
Overview
The News API provides structured, real-time and historical access to market-moving news events across U.S.-listed companies. Designed for developers, trading platforms, and news aggregators, this API delivers enriched news articles with catalyst detection, security mapping, and metadata to power financial workflows and insights.
Key Features

- Security Mapping: News stories are tagged with detailed security-level data including FIGIs, share class identifiers, tickers, and exchange metadata.
- Ticker Normalization: Stories affecting multiple securities are de-duplicated and resolved to composite tickers and exchanges for precise targeting.
- Multichannel Attribution: News is classified by type (e.g., gainers/losers) and linked with other relevant datasets like press releases, ratings, and transcripts.
- Rich Metadata: Includes timestamps, headline content, logo thumbnails, and internal IDs for seamless frontend rendering or record linkage.
- Query Flexibility: Filter by ticker, share class FIGI, type, ID, and pagination — with support for batch use cases or real-time feed polling.
