About Potatometer

To a program that reads HTML and does not run JavaScript, the YC directory is a blank page. That is a fitting place to start, because a small slice of YC's own companies have exactly that problem. We scanned all 197 to find out precisely how many, and which, and the answer splits into two very different questions a founder can ask about their own site. Here is why the distinction is worth a founder's attention, and it is not really about crawlers.

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.
