# Useellis News API: Real-Time SEC Event Intelligence

> The Useellis News API delivers real-time market events from SEC filings in under 90 seconds, covering 6,000+ US companies and 35+ event categories.

The Useellis News API gives your platform access to real-time market intelligence sourced directly from SEC EDGAR — the same data powering the Useellis app, available programmatically in under 90 seconds from filing. Every event is structured, categorized, and scored for impact before it reaches your integration, so you can focus on building rather than parsing raw regulatory filings.

## Use Cases

>
> Ground your AI models in real-time, verified financial events. Feed structured SEC intelligence directly into your RAG pipelines, agents, or summarization workflows — trusted by Perplexity.

> [card] Trading Signals
>
> React to material corporate events — earnings, M\&A, bankruptcy, FDA decisions — in under 90 seconds from EDGAR filing. Wire impact-scored events directly into your signal generation layer.

> [card] Financial Research Platforms
>
> Enrich your research product with a structured, categorized event feed covering 6,000+ US public companies. Surface the events that matter to your analysts without building your own SEC pipeline.

> [card] News & Media Automation
>
> Automate financial news production from primary sources. Every event links back to the original SEC filing, giving your editorial and content automation workflows a verified, citable source.

## Quick Example

Once you have your API key, retrieving the latest market events takes a single authenticated request to `GET /events`.

```python Python theme={null}
import httpx

response = httpx.get(
    "https://api.insighthread.com/v1/events",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    params={"limit": 10}
)
events = response.json()
```

```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
const response = await fetch(
    "https://api.insighthread.com/v1/events?limit=10",
    {
        headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
);
const events = await response.json();
```

The response returns a paginated array of event objects, each containing a headline, AI-generated summary, SEC filing reference, and a 5-bar impact signal. See [GET /events](https://docs.useellis.com/api/events.md) for the full parameter reference and response schema.
