SymbolNews (Story)
SymbolNews Type=Story returns a Query recordset with the same columns as Type=Query attributes and are listed below. Story however, returns only a single story based on the storynumber parameter. Storynumber is a value you obtain from either a headline query or a symbol news query. A list of story number is also a part of a quote packet returned by the FinWin quote appliciation.
  • Headlines - Usually one, but sometimes 2 or 3 headlines in a list separated by a piping sign ( | ). If there is more than one, the first headline is the main header and subsequent headlines are subheaders.
  • Source - An abbreviation of the news source. IW = Internet Wire, DTN = DTN Market Access NewsRoom, PZ = Prime Zone, BW = BizWire, PR = PR News Wire, AP = AP on-line news, BTU = BTU Energy News.
  • Title - included for backward compatibility. This is the first Headline.
  • TimeStamp - The date and time the story was filed.
  • Story - Full text of the story.
  • Story_id - The storynumber. You can use this to story and retrieve the story again if you wish.
  • Related Symbols - A list of Symbols that were found in this story that also has news stories related to them.
  • Related Keywords - A list of keywords that have other stories relate to them. These words are usually extracted from the Title
  • Date_line - This is a string-formatted date line take from the published story, rather than stored from when the story was filed (as in timestamp).
  • CoCity - (if applicable) the city of the company that is the subject of the story.
  • CompanyName - (if applicable) the full name of the Company that is the subject of the story.
  • CoState - (if applicable) the state of the company that is the subject of the story.
