Finlight

About Finlight

Finlight is a financial news API that provides real-time news data with AI-driven sentiment analysis and company/ticker extraction. It is accessible via REST API, WebSocket streaming, and webhooks, offering delivery methods ranging from on-demand HTTP requests to sub-second-latency live streams for trading applications and event-driven push notifications to a specified endpoint.

The API includes a query engine supporting keyword and phrase search, inclusion/exclusion operators, field-level filtering (by ticker, exchange, source, content), boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT), and grouping with parentheses for complex queries. Returned article data includes fields such as title, summary, publish date, language, categories, countries, sentiment, confidence score, images, and extracted company data (ticker, exchange, sector, industry, ISIN, and listings on other exchanges).

SDKs are available for TypeScript and Python, alongside direct REST API access via cURL. The product is aimed at developers building applications that require financial news data, such as market analysis tools or automated trading systems.
