Real-time financial news API with AI sentiment and a boolean query engine
Every article arrives with a sentiment label and confidence score, plus extracted companies carrying ticker, exchange, industry, sector and ISIN identifiers.
Field-level filters, inclusion and exclusion operators, exact phrases, AND/OR/NOT logic and parentheses let you express surgical, low-noise news queries.
Pull data with REST for batch jobs, subscribe to a WebSocket stream for sub-second live updates, or receive webhook pushes to your own endpoint.
Officially supported client libraries for TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java/Kotlin, PHP, Ruby and Rust, with plain cURL always available.
Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.
