News via an API

  1. I was just wondering if there is any type of automated news platform?

    These are some full-feed solutions (giving all news on all symbols -- expensive but nice):

    Activ seems to have a nice news feed with a seemingly clean API, but it probably costs a few bucks -- no idea how much.

    Thomson/Reuters is a big player (the biggest?) in API-accessible news delivery, and they even have news-based algos they'll sell you, but their products range up into the super expensive (up to $1m / year, evidently!):

    Probably not what you're looking to buy :D, but it's interesting to see what's out there, nonetheless.
