The Insighthread News API gives your platform access to real-time market intelligence sourced directly from SEC EDGAR — the same data powering the Insighthread app, available programmatically in under 90 seconds from filing. Every event is structured, categorized, and scored for impact before it reaches your integration, so you can focus on building rather than parsing raw regulatory filings.

Quick Example

Once you have your API key, retrieving the latest market events takes a single authenticated request to GET /events.
import httpx

response = httpx.get(
    "https://api.insighthread.com/v1/events",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    params={"limit": 10}
)
events = response.json()
const response = await fetch(
    "https://api.insighthread.com/v1/events?limit=10",
    {
        headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
);
const events = await response.json();
The response returns a paginated array of event objects, each containing a headline, AI-generated summary, SEC filing reference, and a 5-bar impact signal. See GET /events for the full parameter reference and response schema.
