No MarketWatch account or Dow Jones subscription required. ## What the MarketWatch API covers MarketWatch (marketwatch.com) is one of the most-read financial data platforms on the web, tracking equities, indices, ETFs, currencies, and futures across every major exchange. Anysite wraps seven of its core data surfaces into a consistent JSON API: - **/api/marketwatch/markets/overview** — A snapshot of the global market: current price, change, change percent, and open/close status for major indices and asset classes across all regions, updated in near real-time. - **/api/marketwatch/news/search** — Keyword-driven search across the full MarketWatch article archive, returning article ID, title, URL, source, author, image URL, and publication timestamp. - **/api/marketwatch/quotes** — Comprehensive real-time (or exchange-delayed) quote for any ticker: price, open, day high/low, 52-week range, volume, market cap, PE ratio, EPS, beta, dividend yield, after-hours price, and a full business description. - **/api/marketwatch/quotes/history** — Historical OHLCV bars at daily, weekly, or monthly granularity, with configurable ranges from 1 month to 10 years. Each bar returns date (Unix timestamp), open, high, low, close, and volume. - **/api/marketwatch/quotes/news** — Recent news articles for a specific ticker symbol — the same article structure as news/search, filtered to that symbol's coverage on MarketWatch. - **/api/marketwatch/quotes/search** — Symbol and company search by name or ticker, returning instrument type, ISIN, exchange, country, and a futures flag for each match. - **/api/marketwatch/stocks/financials** — Annual financial statements for any publicly traded stock: income statement, balance sheet, or cash flow statement, with multiple years of historical data per line item. ## Practical use cases The seven endpoints cover a broad range of financial data workflows. An equity research assistant can combine the quotes endpoint (fundamentals: PE, EPS, beta, market cap, dividend yield, business description) with stocks/financials (multi-year income, balance sheet, cash flow) to deliver a full company teardown without a Bloomberg terminal. A news-driven trading signal pipeline can monitor MarketWatch coverage on any keyword or sector via news/search, then cross-reference with quotes to detect price action around breaking stories — with quotes/news narrowing the feed to a specific ticker. A global market-open dashboard can pull the overview endpoint on a schedule and display the live state of every major index and region in a single call. And a backtesting system can pull up to 10 years of OHLCV bars per ticker to build multi-asset datasets for quant strategies or machine-learning models, without storing a local price database. ## Authentication All Anysite endpoints authenticate via the `access-token` header — a single API key covers every source, including MarketWatch. No Dow Jones subscription, no MarketWatch account, no separate credential management. ``` curl https://api.anysite.io/api/marketwatch/quotes \ -H "access-token: YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"symbol": "AAPL"}' ``` ## Try it The full MarketWatch endpoint reference — parameters, response shapes, and quick-start examples for all seven endpoints — is on the [MarketWatch endpoint page](https://anysite.io/sources/marketwatch/). All endpoints are available on every Anysite plan (REST, MCP, and CLI), with no per-source surcharge.
