Business News API

Now more than ever, businesses need access to an ongoing flow of reliable information and data on internal and external factors that could influence their place in an industry. Analysts spend countless hours scouring financial reports, stock updates, political announcements, market sentiment data and more to build informed understandings of their organisation’s position, but this can be exhausting, time-consuming, and riddled with human error.

The Nexis® Data+ business news API is the modern, cost-effective solution to provide unbiased and data-rich information at scale without any need for human involvement. Instead of wasting precious time on data collection and cleaning, this technology can provide integrated access to thousands of online news sources and collect relevant information with enriched data, whenever you need it.

What is a Business News API?

A business news application programming interface (API) is a programming tool used to retrieve data from financial markets, companies, industries, and other free online sources, like blogs and articles. These APIs give users unprecedented access to real-time market data and updates on the state of their industry. Organisations utilise the Nexis® Data+ business news API to stay informed about changes in the marketplace and integrate such insights into their systems to analyse trends, make strategic decisions, and get ahead of the competition. 

A business news feed API relies on artificial intelligence technology, such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to add further metadata to the articles and texts returned. With these tools, users can find immediate insights on data like the publishing dates, links with events and people involved, sentiment behind the article, and engagement it has received across different online channels. NLP & ML capabilities can then help categorise scraped content and use insights to identify other relevant pieces within the research. 

Business News API Uses

There are many different types of business news APIs available on the market today. Some are web-based and focus specifically on financial information, such as stock prices or industry trends, while others provide more general updates about the condition of various sectors. 

Some common uses for the Nexis® Data+ business news API include: 

Building a specified news platform

Creating a website or mobile app that delivers real-time updates on relevant news and trends without relying on manual data collection. This keeps stakeholders informed about what's happening in their industry, as well as changes and developments that could impact their business. 

Developing a news aggregation platform

Users can leverage a business news feed API by developing an aggregated news platform that pulls data from various free sources. Readers can stay abreast of breaking stories in their industry, while still tracking important information like market performance, competitor activity, and regulatory changes. 

Improve market and competitive intelligence processes

By integrating relevant data from various sources into existing analytics platforms, CRMs, ERPs or BI tools, businesses can quickly gather important insights that help them make more informed, strategic decisions. 

Discovering sales triggers

Analysing data surrounding various companies or consumers can offer valuable insights into who may be interested in your products or services. With this information on hand, you can focus your sales efforts and marketing activities to yield a greater return on investment.
