Finlight - Content Manager

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.
