Description
The alphai Stock News API provides a comprehensive solution for accessing financial news in real-time, specifically designed for trading bots and AI agents. This REST API delivers news articles as plain JSON, each scored for relevance on a scale from 1 to 10 and tagged with the relevant tickers. Users can authenticate using a Bearer key and filter news by symbol, category, or minimum relevance. The API also supports cursor pagination for efficient data retrieval.

In addition to news articles, the API includes SEC EDGAR Form 4 insider filings, 8-K and 6-K filings, and macroeconomic releases, all categorized for easy access. The service offers a free tier, allowing users to evaluate the feed with 20 requests per minute and 100 per day, without requiring a credit card. For more extensive use, the Basic and Pro plans increase these limits and provide access to a larger archive.
The API is distinct from market-data APIs, focusing on news rather than price quotes. It is designed to work alongside market-data APIs, using relevance scores and sentiment analysis to help models and trading bots determine which stories to act upon. The API also supports HMAC-signed webhooks for real-time updates and offers an MCP server for AI agents.
The alphai Stock News API is ideal for developers and teams looking to integrate financial news into their applications, providing a structured and enriched feed that reduces the noise typically associated with financial news data. With its focus on relevance and sentiment, the API helps users quickly identify market-moving news and make informed decisions.
