finlight API Version 2 Is Here: Smarter, Sharper, and Ready to Power Your Workflows

We're thrilled to announce that finlight API Version 2 is now live!
This major upgrade brings a new level of power and precision to your news and data workflows — and it's designed to make your life a whole lot easier.

🔍 What’s New in Version 2?

Whether you're building apps, automating research, or integrating financial intelligence into your tools, Version 2 has the flexibility you need:

• Flexible Query Logic
  Build complex queries using intuitive `field:value` filters and Boolean operators (`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`) — find exactly what you’re looking for.
• Big Query Support (POST)
  Send large, advanced queries via `POST` with body payloads for better performance and clarity.
• 📈 Tickers (Beta)
  Extract company and instrument mentions directly from articles. Ticker detection is now available to all paid plans.
• New Filters
  Filter by ticker, isin, exchange, and more to refine your results with laser precision.
• `includeContent` Toggle
  Want the full article content? Just set `includeContent=true`. No need for the old extended endpoint.
• `excludeEmptyContent` Option
  Skip low-quality articles that don’t have meaningful content.
• Automatic Entity Enrichment
  Use `includeEntities` to enrich your search results with company data — no extra calls needed.
• Updated SDKs & Docs
  We’ve refreshed our npm and Python libraries, plus upgraded our documentation and API tester UI.
