Authentication

All requests must include an API key in the x-api-key HTTP header.
API keys are issued from your Akta account. Contact support@akta.pro if you do not yet have API access or need to rotate a key.
Never expose your API key in client-side code, browser requests, or public repositories. A missing or invalid key returns 401 Unauthorized.

Execute your first request

If you have company name as the starting point, you should first use Company Search API to find the Akta UUID and then use the News Signals API. If you have industry name as the starting point, you should first use Industry Search API to find the industry codes as per Akta’s industry taxonomy and then use the News Signals API.
company and industry are both optional. You are not required to scope a request to either one. If you want to monitor a custom signal, theme, or narrative that doesn’t map to a specific company or industry. For example if you want to get news related to"tariffs", "data center buildout", or "AI regulation",pass it directly as an open-ended query string instead. This lets you track news around a topic without first resolving it to a company UUID or industry code.
