  • Driving change in the stock market with our API says Ricardo
  • Stock News API works the same way as other REST APIs.
  • Stock News API caters to big sites and broker to individual users.

“Stay on top of the stock market with Stock News API”, said the Founder of Stock News API.

Intrigued, we wanted to know more about how Stock News API aims to change the way people stay up to date with the stock market. So, we arranged a meeting with Ricardo - founder of Stock News API to pick his brain about his trending API website.

The website has become one of the best resources for getting the latest stock news. Users can get access to clean, relevant, and precise stock market data. Stock News API is a go-to source for many people looking for general market news, press releases, specific statistics, and comparisons, or advanced filtering.

Stock News API works the same way as other REST APIs

The founder elaborated the working of the API portal and said, “Our API works the same way as other REST APIs. You get JSON stock news results when you submit HTTP GET requests. Our members, once they get registered are assigned a unique token. By using this token, they can retrieve stock news data and connect their site, application, or project to the API.”

According to Ricardo, you can “use the site to get a general sentiment of the market, individual stocks, or any particular sector.” 

The founder expressed confidence in custom parameters that Stock news API used to make it easier for users to find relevant stories.

 “Our site offers over 15 custom parameters. Users can go through articles, videos, sentiment, topic, industry, and much more. Moreover, users can retrieve data from specific date ranges which comes in handy when collecting historical data.”

Stock News API caters to big sites and brokers to individual users

Stock News API, as per Ricardo, caters not only to the big sites and brokers, but also to individual users. He said, “Our users are very mixed. Big sites and brokers use our service to provide high-quality stock news data to their users, however, our service is also used by researchers, trading firms, and students.”

Stock News API currently offers three different plans to cater to the individual requirements of each users. Users can choose from a Basic, Premium, or Business package. Premium and Business plans, as per Ricardo, are devised particularly for large firms and companies, and are devised in consideration of their requirements. Basic package, on the other hand, has blue and purple features only.

Ricardo also elaborated on his plans for his platform as he commented, “Time has not impacted my motivation to take my platform a step forward and I along with my partners, will continue to explore new opportunities in the future.”
