Overview

Build on Forecite — a low-latency, scored feed of market-moving news and filings.

What is Forecite?

Forecite captures market-moving news, SEC filings, and wire releases the moment they break, scores each one with the Verdict Engine for actionability and sentiment, and delivers the result to your systems in under 50 ms — over a WebSocket stream or a REST API.

These docs cover the public v1 API: how to authenticate, pull the scored feed, score your own artifacts, and stay within your plan's limits.

Quickstart

Make your first authenticated API call in minutes.

Authentication

API keys and the Bearer token scheme.

The feed

List and fetch scored news + filings.

Scoring API

Run the Verdict Engine on your own artifacts.

How it fits together

Ingest — Forecite pulls directly from primary sources (SEC EDGAR, the wires, exchange halt feeds) with edge scrapers colocated near each source.
Score — every artifact passes through the Verdict Engine, producing an actionability flag and a 0–10 sentiment score with short rationales.
Deliver — results stream to subscribers over WebSocket and are queryable over REST, each payload carrying per-event latency telemetry.

Base URL

All v1 endpoints live under https://api.forecite.com. Every request must carry an Authorization: Bearer fc_live_... header — see Authentication.
