What is a News API?

A News API is a tool that allows developers and businesses to automatically access, search, and retrieve real-time or historical news articles from a wide range of online sources. Instead of manually browsing multiple websites, a News API delivers structured news data — headlines, summaries, authors, dates, and even full articles — directly into your application, dashboard, or service.

Who We Are

At Finlight.me, we’re a team of developers, data engineers, and news junkies who believe that access to real-time, structured news data should be fast, reliable, and affordable.

Born from the frustration of clunky, overpriced news APIs, we set out to build a service that’s developer-first, lightning-fast, and designed for real-world use—from financial applications to AI-powered news analysis tools.

We know what it’s like to need clean, low-latency data for serious projects. That’s why we built Finlight to be scalable, easy to integrate, and obsessively documented. Whether you’re a startup founder, data scientist, or automation nerd, we’re here to power your next big thing with bulletproof news data APIs.

Finlight.me is independently built, proudly bootstrapped, and focused on helping makers, teams, and platforms stay ahead of the curve with the right information—at the right time.
