finlight

finlight is a financial news API that provides real-time financial news through three integration methods: a REST API for on-demand news data, a WebSocket for real-time streams, and webhooks for event-driven notifications pushed to user endpoints. Its query engine supports keyword and phrase search, inclusion and exclusion operators, field-level filtering on fields such as ticker, exchange, and source, boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT), and parenthetical grouping. Article responses include sentiment labels, company entity data (such as ticker, exchange, ISIN, and listings), categories, countries, and images. The page lists official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java/Kotlin, PHP, Ruby, and Rust, along with integrations with Make.com, Zapier, n8n, and an MCP server for AI assistants. Pricing is not detailed on the supplied page beyond a free trial call to action and a Pricing link.
