The Akta News Signals API fetches enriched news articles, optionally scoped by company, industry, open-ended search query, or any of a range of other filters. Each article is returned with an AI-generated summary, full body text, structured news tags, industry classifications, sentiment signal, relevance score, named entities, and a resolved list of all companies mentioned, making it ready for direct consumption in LLM pipelines, monitoring workflows, and investment research tools. This is a synchronous GET API. You can pass any filters you need as URL query parameters and receive a paginated array of enriched articles immediately in the response. Every filter parameter is optional. You can scope results to a specific company (by website domain or UUID), an industry, or an open-ended topic query. For example a free-text theme like “tariffs”, “data center buildout”, or “AI regulation” that doesn’t map neatly to a single company or industry code. You can also filter on any of the other supported parameters (named entities, NAICS/SIC/IPTC/IAB codes, sentiment, date range, and more), combine as many as you like, or pass none at all. A request with no filters simply returns the latest articles across Akta’s full news index. Each article in the response includes:
  • AI summary: a concise, machine-generated synopsis of the article’s key facts
  • Full text: the complete article body for downstream LLM processing, embedding, or RAG
  • Sentiment : positive, negative, or neutral classification at the article level
  • News score : relevance and quality score for signal triage
  • News tags : structured primary and secondary tags (e.g. "Equity Fund-Raising", "Layoffs", "IPO")
  • Industry classifications : industry names with primary flag
  • Company mentions : resolved array of all companies named in the article, each with UUID, name, and website
  • Named entities : people, locations, products, and events extracted from the article text
  • Classification codes : IPTC, IAB, NAICS, and SIC codes for cross-referencing against external taxonomies
  • Article metadata : flags for whether an article is a press release, opinion piece, or breaking news, plus the country/countries associated with the event
Common use cases:
  • Company monitoring : pass a company’s website domain to track all coverage for a specific business, filtered by sentiment or news type
  • Industry intelligence : resolve an industry via the Industry Search API, then pass the resulting code to monitor deal flow, regulatory activity, or innovation signals across an entire sector
  • Open-ended topic monitoring : pass a free-text query to track a theme, event, or narrative that spans multiple companies and industries, without needing to resolve it to a company or industry code first
  • Entity tracking : filter or post-process by entity_person_list, entity_location_list, entity_product_list, or entity_event_list to follow specific people, places, products, or events across coverage
  • LLM pipeline enrichment : use full_text as input to summarisation, classification, or embedding models, pre-filtered by type and sentiment
This API is synchronous. Results are returned directly in the HTTP response. No job submission or polling required.
