Overview

This node interacts with the finlight REST API to search for news articles based on various filter criteria. It is useful for scenarios where users want to retrieve relevant news articles filtered by keywords, date ranges, sources, tickers, countries, categories, language, and other options. For example, a user can search for articles mentioning specific companies or topics within a certain date range and order the results by publish date.

Use Case Examples

  1. Search for articles mentioning 'earnings' or 'guidance' related to NVIDIA within the last week.
  2. Retrieve articles from specific news sources excluding others, filtered by categories like Technology or Business.
  3. Get paginated results of news articles in English, ordered by publish date descending.
