Dow Jones Data Parser & API

Dow Jones & Company is the institutional business-news publisher behind The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and Factiva, and StockAPIS extracts its business-news stream — headlines, article summaries, company and earnings coverage, economic reports and news sentiment — through a single REST API. Dow Jones does not offer a free public news API (its Factiva and Developer Platform feeds are enterprise, licensed and contract-gated), so StockAPIS parses and normalizes the published content into the same schema you use for every other news source, letting you query Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg the same way.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• One of the most authoritative business-news brands worldwide, owned by News Corp
• Parent of The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and the Factiva research archive
• A primary source for market-moving headlines, earnings coverage and economic analysis
• No open public news API — access is enterprise-licensed, so StockAPIS provides a unified normalized feed

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the Dow Jones news surface as structured data:

• Headlines — real-time business and financial headlines across markets and sectors
• Article summaries — normalized title, summary, publish time, category and source URL
• Company news — symbol-tagged news, earnings coverage and analyst commentary
• Economic reports — macroeconomic releases, central-bank coverage and forecasts
• Sentiment — per-article and per-symbol sentiment scoring for signal generation
• Historical archive — back-dated business news and research for backtesting

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Latest Dow Jones business headlines
news = client.dow_jones.get_news(category="markets", limit=5)
for article in news:
    print(article["publishedAt"], "-", article["title"])

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

What data can I get from Dow Jones through StockAPIS? Headlines, article summaries, symbol-tagged company news, earnings and economic coverage, news sentiment, and historical archives — all on the same schema as other news sources.
