Stream API

Setting up a news streaming API to receive newly published articles in real-time can be done in less than 10 lines of code.

const { StreamApi } = require('financial-news-api');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';

const streamApi = StreamApi(API_KEY);

streamApi.on('articles', (articles) => console.log(articles[0].title));
streamApi.on('error', (err) => console.log('Connection error ' + err));
streamApi.on('open', () => console.log('Connection open'));
streamApi.on('close', () => console.log('Connection closed'));

The StreamApi is a simple event emitter wrapped around a websocket client. The StreamApi emits four different events:

Event: 'articles'

articles (array) - Array of newly published articles
- id (string) - unique ID of the article
- title (string) - title of the article
- description (string) - short description of the article

- publishedAt (string) - ISO 8601 formatted date of publication time, e.g. 2020-06-08T12:23:00-04:00

  - id (string) - unique ID of news source, e.g. businesswire
