June 1, 2023 – Today, The Block unveiled its real-time news API, giving application developers, investors, and data providers, seamless access to its sector-specific coverage of the crypto and digital assets ecosystem.

The Block covers crypto from a nuanced perspective that mainstream publications can’t match. Our global newsroom of journalists, each with a deep understanding of the crypto ecosystem and wide network of industry sources, consistently uncover the people, companies, and events driving industry trends. From unique scoops and exclusives, to original breaking news and features, The Block adds substance to the biggest headlines with original reporting informed by our proprietary research and data.

The News API empowers users to filter and prioritize feeds with real-time news categories, keywords, and topic filters. Features include:

• Instant Access: Retrieve The Block’s original news content, including headlines, summaries, and full article text, within seconds of publication to our Pro or public websites. 
• Priority Categories: Prioritize and filter breaking news and exclusives with 4 category flags:

1. 1. Exclusive and Market Moving
   2. Market Moving
   3. Exclusive
   4. Neither Exclusive nor Market Moving
      

• Topic-Specific Filters: Customize your news feed using keyword search, and other search parameters, such as, article length, vertical topic, publication date, and more. Receive up to 1,000 articles per request.
• Integration Options: Our API is available both as websocket or REST API, allowing you to access our news in a structured JSON format, either as a real-time feed, or on-demand.

The News API is one of several APIs offered by The Block Pro, the news, research and data platform for investors and companies invested in, or evaluating business opportunities in digital assets. We provide API access for two other proprietary data products:

• Deals: Pull data from The Block’s comprehensive database of web3 deals, fundraising, companies, and investors, collected and verified by our in-house research and data team.
• Ecosystem Data: Ingest The Block’s proprietary industry data with unlimited access to the data library behind more than 75% of the original charts exclusively available to Block Pro platform subscribers.

The News API, and other API services, are available as an add-on to a Block Pro subscription or a stand-alone license.
