Battle-Tested & Enterprise-Ready: While self-service website access to Alpha News Stream is new, its API has been in use by corporate, investing and Fintech organizations for over five years through ANS’ reseller relationship with Xignite, Inc., a pioneer in market data API delivery.

“When it was time to upgrade our financial headline service, we chose Alpha News Stream over the established players because of its ease of integration and wider range of news sources,” comments Stephane Dubois, founder & CEO of Xignite, Inc., a Forbes Fintech 50 Company. “Built to handle our special needs, Alpha News Stream keeps our institutional and Fintech customers abreast of North America stock and financial headlines, with 99.99 percent uptime.”

Xignite recently won a prestigious Inside Market Data award for Best Real-Time Data Initiative for its work with digital personal finance company SoFi. This initiative included Alpha News Stream’s curated news headlines.

The ANS proprietary news platform aggregates news headlines, categorizes them based on content, then adds data points to each headline, including – where available or applicable – ticker symbol, sector/subsector, IPTC categories and news source paywall designations.

ANS data points offer developers flexibility in building multiple news applications. For organizations which desire a highly customized newsfeed with specified news sources and keywords, ANS can build a proprietary newsfeed available only for that customer. This helps organizations keep track of only the web financial news desired.

“We’re still in the early innings of a Fintech-fueled revolution as more organizations transition from legacy technologies to the onboarding simplicity and lightweight implementation of cloud APIs,” comments Frank Cioffi, founder and President of Alpha News Stream. “With our background in news curation, we started by focusing on one niche – web financial headlines – bringing human editorial news selection to an automated financial headline feed.”
