What is Massive (ex-Polygon.io) News?
Massive is the name Polygon.io took on October 30, 2025. The company was founded in Atlanta around 2016 by Quinton Pike, and old api.polygon.io endpoints keep working beside the new api.massive.com base. Its ticker news endpoint returns recent articles for a symbol with summaries, publisher details and an insights array giving a sentiment label and a one-sentence reason for each ticker mentioned. Sentiment only exists for articles published after July 2, 2024. Ticker news is included in every Stocks plan: the free Basic tier reaches two years of history, and Stocks Starter costs $29 a month. Official SDKs cover Python, Go, JavaScript and more, and flat files can be pulled from S3.
Typical uses: Financial services, Research & academia. What sets it apart: Per-ticker sentiment with a written reason, included in stock data plans.
