Ticker News

The latest news for any stock, coin or futures ticker

OperationalCredits 2 per callp50 101msFinanceStar

Overview

Ticker News resolves the ticker to its exact listing first, then gathers stories from financial news feeds that are already organised by ticker, so results are tied to the company rather than guessed from keywords. The same story carried by several outlets is returned once. Each story is checked for whether its headline or summary names the company or ticker: stories that do are tagged direct and returned by default, while sector round-ups and peer stories the feeds also carry are available with relevance=all. News is refreshed hourly for tickers in use and kept for 90 days.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

GEThttps://api.apiverve.com/v1/tickernews
curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/tickernews?ticker=AAPL&market=US&relevance=direct&since=2026-10-01" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
