Stock markets news API

What this covers

Index moves, individual listings, earnings reactions and market commentary. Coverage is heavily concentrated in a small number of financial outlets, so the outlet count on this topic is much lower than its article volume suggests — one of the widest volume-to-spread gaps of any topic here.

Querying it

Pair with a country or a company name rather than querying it alone; unscoped market coverage is dominated by daily index summaries that carry almost no information. Time bounds matter more than usual because market commentary is published on a fixed daily rhythm regardless of whether anything happened.

What catches people out

Treating article volume as market attention. Financial outlets publish a market wrap every session whether or not there is news, so volume is close to constant and only the deviation means anything. Compare against a trailing baseline rather than reading the raw count.

Who publishes on it

Financial wires and a handful of specialist market publications produce most of the volume, with national business press adding domestic listings coverage. The specialist titles publish continuously through the session and the general press summarises afterwards, so the same event appears twice with different levels of detail hours apart.

What it is best for

Best for tracking how a specific listing or sector is being discussed, and for event studies around earnings and announcements where the precise publication time matters. Weakest as a measure of market sentiment, because the daily publication rhythm is fixed and swamps genuine variation in attention.

Monitoring it over time

Volume is close to constant, so the useful measurement is always a deviation rather than a level. Establish a trailing baseline for the specific listing or index you follow, and alert on departures from it rather than on thresholds. Because market wraps publish on a fixed schedule, weekends and holidays produce reliable troughs that read as a collapse in attention if you compare adjacent windows without accounting for them.

Signals that pair with it

Topic filtering answers what an article is about. Signals answer how strongly it reads that way and in what register, so combining them is usually sharper than either alone.
