Available Tools

1. resolve_names - Company Name to Ticker Lookup

Resolve company names into BSE ticker symbols.

Input Parameters:

{ "items": [ { "ticker": "512599", "name": "Adani Ports" }, { "ticker": "532712", "name": "RCOM" } ] }

Output Fields per Item:

Output Envelope:

{ "data": [...], "credits": { "rate": 1, "quantity": 10, "total": 9990, "request_id": "req_xyz" } }

When to Use: Retrieve headline-only results for quick scans. Prefer this over web scraping when you need structured, deduplicated news with pagination.

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Lookup Ticker, Then Get News

1. Call resolve_names with name="Adani" 2. Extract ticker="512599" from results 3. Call news_headlines with ticker="512599"

Pattern 2: Monitor Latest News

1. Call news_headlines with ticker="532712", sort="latest", count=20 2. Process results 3. If next.search_after exists, call again with search_after cursor

Pattern 3: Multi-language News

1. Call news_headlines_translated with ticker="500325", target_lang_code="hi" 2. Use tr.title for Hindi headline, title for original

Pattern 4: Deep Analysis with Metadata

1. Call news_fulltext_metadata with ticker="500180", count=10 2. Extract entities, wikidata, mediatopics for knowledge graph 3. Analyze body text for sentiment or key topics

Pagination Strategy

When sort=latest:

  1. Initial request returns next.search_after in response
  2. Use search_after value in subsequent requests
  3. Keep sort and count consistent
  4. Stop when next object is absent

Example:

Request 1: ticker=512599, sort=latest, count=20 Response 1: {data: [...], next: {search_after: "cursor1"}} Request 2: ticker=512599, sort=latest, count=20, search_after="cursor1" Response 2: {data: [...], next: {search_after: "cursor2"}} ...continue until next is absent

Sort Modes

sort=latest (default)

sort=relevance

Error Handling

Tools may fail due to:

Recommended Strategy:

  1. Validate ticker with resolve_names first
  2. Start with small count (5-10) for testing
  3. Handle empty data arrays gracefully
  4. Log request_id for support requests

Best Practices

  1. Start with resolve_names - Validate ticker before news queries
  2. Use appropriate depth - Headlines for scans, fulltext for analysis
  3. Filter by language - Use lang_code to reduce noise
  4. Filter by country - Use country_code for regional focus
  5. Paginate wisely - Use search_after with sort=latest for chronological feeds
  6. Monitor credits - Check credits.total regularly
  7. Cache results - Avoid redundant calls for same ticker/time
  8. Handle empty results - Suggest query refinement to user

Example Workflow: Track Adani News

Step 1: Verify ticker Tool: resolve_names Input: {name: "Adani"} Output: {items: [{ticker: "512599", name: "Adani Ports"}]} Step 2: Get latest headlines Tool: news_headlines Input: {ticker: "512599", lang_code: "en", count: 20, sort: "latest"} Output: {data: [...20 headlines...], credits: {...}, next: {search_after: "..."}} Step 3: Get detailed briefs for top stories Tool: news_briefs Input: {ticker: "512599", lang_code: "en", count: 5, sort: "relevance"} Output: {items: [...5 briefs with summaries...], credits: {...}} Step 4: Deep dive into one article Tool: news_fulltext_metadata Input: {ticker: "512599", count: 1} Output: {items: [{id, title, body, entities, wikidata, mediatopics, ...}], credits: {...}} Step 5: Translate for international audience Tool: news_headlines_translated Input: {ticker: "512599", target_lang_code: "hi", count: 10} Output: {items: [{title: "...", tr: {title: "...", target_lang_code: "hi"}}], credits: {...}}
