CNBC Data Parser & API

CNBC is one of the world’s leading business and financial news networks, and StockAPIS extracts its published content — real-time headlines, article summaries, market commentary, earnings coverage and ticker-tagged news — through a single REST API. CNBC has no official public data API, so StockAPIS parses its published news and normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other source, letting you pull CNBC, Bloomberg and Reuters the same way without maintaining separate scrapers.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• One of the most-read business news brands globally, owned by NBCUniversal (Comcast)
• Wall-to-wall coverage of US and international markets, earnings, IPOs and the macro economy
• A primary source for breaking market-moving headlines and analyst commentary
• No official data API — StockAPIS provides normalized, programmatic access to published content

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes CNBC’s published news surface as structured data:

• Headlines — real-time business and market headlines with timestamps and categories
• Articles — full article summaries and bodies with author and publication metadata
• Company news — ticker-tagged stories linked to specific symbols (e.g. AAPL, TSLA)
• Market commentary — sector analysis, market trends and economic reports
• Events — earnings coverage, economic releases and IPO news
• Sentiment — derived sentiment scores and trending-topic signals for each story

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Latest CNBC market headlines

    print(article["publishedAt"], "·", article["title"])

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// CNBC company news tagged to a ticker
const headlines = await client.cnbc.getCompanyNews({ symbol: "AAPL", limit: 5 });
headlines.forEach((a) => console.log(a.publishedAt, a.title));
