News data and web intelligence APIs

market profile

  • text: Risk, compliance and market intelligence teams must monitor a large multilingual web for material events instead of relying only on top-ranked stories.
  • text: Developers building agents and data products need normalized, machine-readable information and auditable source links rather than raw HTML.

personas

  • title: Data engineering lead
    pains:
    • Building and maintaining crawlers, deduplication and entity resolution diverts engineering time
    • News coverage and freshness must fit production data pipelines
  • title: Risk intelligence manager
    pains:
    • Missed local stories can hide supplier disruptions, lawsuits or regulatory changes
    • Analysts must review repeated articles about the same event
  • title: AI product developer
    pains:
    • Search results rank a few pages instead of exhaustively finding events matching a question
    • Agents need sourced structured data and predictable API access

objections

  • objection: How can we trust coverage and avoid missing material events?
    response: Run a benchmark against a known event set and inspect source coverage and recall for your regions and topics.
  • objection: Will the data work with our existing stack?
    response: Test the API and structured JSON against a representative pipeline, including entity matching and deduplication.
