Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, but you must have a premium subscription. Commercial use of the Stock News API is not permitted on the free tier. See our pricing page to choose a plan that fits your needs.
  • Sign up for a free account to instantly get your API key, then pass it in the X-Api-Key header on every request. The documentation above includes ready-to-run examples in cURL, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, and more.
  • Your API requests will simply be denied once you hit your monthly quota — you will never be charged more than the plan you signed up for. To increase your quota, you can upgrade your plan any time on our pricing page.
  • The API responds with a standard HTTP status code and a JSON error message describing the problem. See our error codes reference for the full list of codes and how to resolve each one, or contact support if you need help.
  • It powers ticker-specific news feeds, sentiment and event-driven trading signals, and research dashboards, returning headlines aggregated from major publishers like CNBC, MarketWatch, Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, and the Wall Street Journal. Pair it with the Stock Price or Earnings APIs to correlate news with price moves and reporting dates.
  • Pass the ticker parameter with a single symbol (e.g. AAPL) or a comma-separated list (e.g. AAPL,MSFT,TSLA); omit it to get the latest news across all publishers. To narrow by time, use date for a single UTC day in YYYY-MM-DD format, or the start_date/end_date pair for an inclusive range, and resolve symbols first with the Ticker API if needed.
  • Each headline object includes title, the canonical article url, a publisher source slug (e.g. cnbc, benzinga), a published Unix timestamp in seconds, a tickers array of associated symbols, and an author field that may be null. See error codes for the response returned when a request is unsuccessful.
  • This is a Premium-only endpoint that returns up to 50 of the most recent headlines sorted newest first; use the offset parameter (default 0, maximum 10000) to page through additional results in increments of 50.
