Finance News API
Scrape Finance News data with one API call. Returns recent news articles for one financial instrument as a unified NewsArticleList: title, absolute publish time (UTC), publisher, source domain, article URL, and the widest available thumbnail. Pass the instrument in `keyword` as a bare ticker (`AAPL`) or in the `TICKER:EXCHANGE` form used by /v1/finance/quote (`AAPL:NASDAQ`) - the exchange suffix is stripped for you. Rows use the same canonical shape as /v1/google_news/search, so finance news and news-search results join on one row type. `published_at` is always an absolute second-precision ISO-8601 UTC instant, never a localized "2 hours ago" string. Prices and instrument data are delayed; see the platform guide for per-exchange delays.

Returns recent news for one instrument: headline, absolute UTC publish time, publisher, domain, article URL, and the largest thumbnail. Same row shape as google_news/search, so the two merge cleanly.
Use it to find why a price moved. Pass a bare ticker ('AAPL') or quote's 'AAPL:NASDAQ' form; the suffix is ignored. This platform is delayed.

What can you do with the News API?
The News endpoint gives you structured Finance data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/finance/news?keyword=AAPL"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/finance/news",
params={
'keyword': 'AAPL',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/finance/news?keyword=AAPL",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| keyword | Yes | Instrument ticker. A bare symbol ('AAPL', '005930.KS') or the 'TICKER:EXCHANGE' form from ticker-search ('AAPL:NASDAQ'); the exchange suffix is ignored. |
| limit | No | Maximum articles to return, 1 to 50. Defaults to the upstream batch size. |
| since | No | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| until | No | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |
