About Stock News API

REST API for relevance-scored, ticker-linked financial news: a real-time stock news API for trading bots, AI agents, and dashboards. Free tier, no credit card. Every article arrives scored for relevance and linked to tickers, so a trading bot or an agent backend can filter the wire at request time. Filter server-side Symbol, category, minimum relevance and delta polling are query params, so the wire is cut before it costs you a token. Enough to evaluate the feed and build a prototype.
