Structural Financial News API for Swing Traders

An API that abandons the 'speed' race and instead uses LLMs to perform deep structural analysis on news (e.g., extracting exact earnings beats, M&A terms, Fed wording deltas). It targets swing traders who trade the 'residual' macro trend rather than the initial HFT latency spike.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • Before the news hit the API, it already hit Bloomberg first, and before it hit Bloomberg, first handlers also got it first.

  • retail RSS or even paid news APIs typically run 3 to 15 seconds behind direct wires.
  • sentiment classifiers are brutal at conditional statements, 'rates may rise if inflation persists'
  • news sentiment may appear negative at surface level but the stock reaction is strongly positive
  • False headlines and market overreactions can lead to significany losses
