When you're managing a portfolio of stocks, it's important to stay up to date with company news. Has Apple, Inc. announced a new version of the iPhone? Is the management shifting at Exxon Mobil? Are new regulations affecting Tesla's future performance? Easy access to these updates via a News API helps you keep a pulse not only on the company and its performance, but on the general media and public sentiment.

This article explains how to pull the latest news on the stocks you follow via the Intrinio News API.

Getting Started With the Intrinio News API

To get started accessing news for various stocks, subscribe to one of our equities data packages. This blog walks you through getting started with the Intrinio API.

Accessing the Latest News For Your Stocks

Once you're ready with the API, here's how to access the data you want.

Sample News API Calls

Here is an example API call from the News API:

API URL: https://api-v2.intrinio.com
GET: /companies/AAPL/news?page_size=250
FULL URL: https://api-v2.intrinio.com/companies/AAPL/news?page_size=250

As you can see, choosing the identifier "AAPL" will return a list of the latest news stories for Apple, Inc. If you'd like to isolate specifics, like the title or the publication date, you can parse that information out of the main API call.

The following items are available for return:

  • URL
  • Headline
  • Summary
  • Title
  • Timestamp
