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.

First, install socket.io for Python:

pip install python-engineio==3.14.2 python-socketio[client]==4.6.0

Please use the exact python-engineio and python-socketio versions above.

The example below creates a socket.io client, connects to the Stream API server and prints new articles as they are published.

import socketio

sio = socketio.Client()

@sio.on('connect')
def on_connect():
    print("Connected to Newsfilter Stream API")

@sio.on('articles')
def on_articles(articles):
    print(articles)

sio.connect('http://stream.newsfilter.io?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY')
sio.wait()

Topics

The news API supports a large range of topics, for example:

• Quarterly and annual earnings reports
• Insider trading reports filed with the SEC
• Merger & acquisition news
• IPOs and offerings
• Legal proceedings and federal investigations
• Changes to management
