About AlphaAI

AlphaAI provides a financial news API delivering scored, ticker-linked news for trading bots and AI agent backends. Content is sourced from a GDELT-driven monitor of the global financial press, SEC EDGAR (Form 4 and 8-K filings), and hand-curated publisher RSS feeds, then processed through an enrichment pipeline that assigns each article a relevance score (1-10), a topic category, and per-ticker sentiment with a confidence level and reasoning. Extracted tickers are validated against an active-symbol list, hallucinated symbols are dropped, spam domains are blocked, and near-duplicate articles are collapsed into single rows before publication.

The API is accessed via a Bearer token and returns plain JSON over HTTPS, with official typed SDKs available for Python (sync and async) and TypeScript (zero runtime dependencies). Endpoints include a main news feed (GET /api/news/), a trending endpoint for top stories from the last 48 hours, an insider-transaction feed based on SEC Form 4 filings, a macro-economic news feed covering macro economy, commodities, and geopolitics categories, and a calendar endpoint for scheduled US macro releases. Requests support filtering by ticker symbol, category, and minimum relevance score, with cursor-based pagination and a polling mode that returns only newly ingested rows.

Additional resources include a Postman collection, n8n no-code templates, a terminal dashboard tool (alphai-tui), and example repositories demonstrating SDK usage in Python and TypeScript. The service offers Free, Basic, and Pro plans, with Pro keys supporting larger page sizes per request.
