Reuters Data Parser & API

Reuters is one of the world’s largest global news agencies, publishing 24/7 financial and macro coverage across 200+ countries, and StockAPIS extracts its market-moving news — headlines, summaries, full article bodies, tagged tickers, categories, sentiment scores and timestamps — through a single REST API. Reuters offers official news feeds only through enterprise licensing (Reuters Connect / Reuters News API), so there is no open public developer API; StockAPIS normalizes Reuters articles into the same news schema you use for every other source, so you query Reuters, Bloomberg and CNBC the same way without maintaining separate integrations.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• One of the largest and most-cited global news agencies, owned by Thomson Reuters
• 24/7 newsroom covering equities, macro, FX, commodities and central banks across 200+ countries

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full Reuters news surface as structured data:

• Headlines & summaries — real-time breaking news titles and short abstracts

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Latest Reuters headlines for a ticker
news = client.reuters.get_latest_news(symbol="AAPL", limit=10)
for article in news:
    print(f"{article['publishedAt']}  ·  {article['headline']}")
    print(f"  sentiment: {article['sentiment']} ({article['sentimentScore']})")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Breaking Reuters news across global markets
const news = await client.reuters.getLatestNews({ symbol: "AAPL", limit: 10 });
news.forEach((a) => {
  console.log(`${a.publishedAt} — ${a.headline} [${a.sentiment}]`);
});
