Retail event-driven traders

Stock news for event-driven traders

An event-driven trader takes a position because a specific story just changed the outlook for a stock. The useful feed is not a daily digest. It is the press release and the ticker, available as soon as the wire publishes.

How does a stock news API help retail event-driven traders?

MarketNewsAPI gives event-driven traders ticker-tagged stock news, press releases, and legal notices over REST and WebSocket, so a new headline can trigger a review without scraping a news site.

Fit

When this stock news workflow fits

  • You trade a watchlist and need the story, not a delayed recap.
  • You care which items are company press releases versus legal notices.
  • You want the headline and a short summary before you open the full article.

The call

Latest NVDA press releases

The same article shape on every guide: ticker, type, timestamps, summary, and a link. Press releases include the full text.

How to call it

How do you request stock news for this workflow?

1

Subscribe the names you trade

On Pro, open the WebSocket and subscribe to ticker:NVDA plus type:press_release. Articles arrive as they are ingested. The 7-day trial includes the stream.

2

Separate wires from commentary

Request type=press_release when you want the company announcement, and type=news when you want publisher coverage. Legal alerts stay on type=legal so they do not bury the release.

3

Read the summary first

Each article includes a short summary, so you can see what the story is about before you open the full article.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a retail trader use MarketNewsAPI without a firm account?
Yes. Sign up with an email and you get 7 days of real-time Pro. A card is required. The trial includes REST, the WebSocket, and MCP. If you do not subscribe, the account moves to Free: the last year of headlines on a 15-minute delay, and 100 requests a day. Pro stays $15 a month, or $162 a year, for the live stream. One trial per email.
Does the feed include the full press release?
Yes for press releases. Wire announcements are stored with full text and a ticker. Publisher stock news includes the headline, a snippet, an AI summary, entities, and a link back to the original page, not the publisher's full article. Legal notices are headlines and summaries too. Filter with type=press_release when you only want the wire copy.
How do I avoid legal-notice spam?
Filter them out. Pass type=press_release when you want the company announcement, or type=news when you want publisher coverage. Shareholder class-action and investor alerts are type=legal, so they stay out of those two queries. You can also subscribe the WebSocket to type:press_release and ticker:SYMBOL together. Legal notices stay in the feed. They are just not mixed into the other two types.
