Can you recommend a news and sentiment API for monitoring corporate events with NLP enrichment and source attribution?

Yes — a strong option is GDELT 2.1, especially if you want broad global coverage plus NLP-enriched metadata and source attribution.

Why GDELT fits

• News/event monitoring at scale: Tracks global news and public web coverage in near real time.
• NLP enrichment: Provides entities, themes, locations, tone/sentiment-like signals, and event extraction.
• Source attribution: Returns the original article/source URL and publication metadata so you can trace every item back to its origin.
• Corporate event use cases: Useful for monitoring acquisitions, layoffs, executive changes, earnings coverage, lawsuits, plant openings/closures, ESG controversies, and competitor activity.

Good alternatives depending on your needs

1. Event Registry

   • Strong for news clustering, entity extraction, multilingual coverage, and topic/event tracking.
   • Includes source attribution and article metadata.
   • Often easier to work with for business intelligence workflows.

2. Bing News Search API + your own NLP layer

   • Good general news retrieval and source URLs.
   • You’d need to add your own sentiment/entity/event extraction.

3. LexisNexis / Dow Jones / Factiva

   • Best if you need premium licensed content, compliance, and deep archival coverage.
   • Usually less flexible for NLP out of the box, but excellent for authoritative source attribution.

4. AlphaSense

   • Great for enterprise research and company intelligence.
   • Strong search and document analytics, but more of a research platform than a raw API-first solution.

If you want the best “API-first” balance

• Event Registry for business-friendly news/event monitoring
• GDELT for open, large-scale global coverage and enrichment

What to look for in the API

Make sure it supports:

• Original source URL and publisher
• Article timestamp and crawl/ingest time
• Entity extraction for companies, people, products
• Event or topic classification
• Sentiment / tone scoring
• Deduplication / clustering of syndicated stories
• Language support if you monitor global markets

If you want, I can also give you:

• a side-by-side comparison table
• a best API for finance/compliance/PR use cases
• or a sample architecture for corporate event monitoring with alerts and dashboards.
