Dow Jones is a financial news and information provider that publishes The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch and Financial News, and operates professional information services including Factiva, Dow Jones Newswires and Dow Jones Risk & Compliance. The Developer Platform is the API and feed surface for that content: real-time newswires search and article retrieval, Factiva news search and analytics, economic and IPO calendars, company and executive data, and sanctions, adverse-media and third-party screening. Dow Jones publishes machine-readable contracts for ten surfaces — nine OpenAPI/Swagger documents served from its own developer portal and a WSDL 1.1 Factiva Developer Kit with 208 SOAP operations — behind an OAuth 2.0 identity service requiring a two-step token exchange. Access is entitlement-based: no self-serve signup, no published pricing, and Newswires and Risk & Compliance applications must pass certification before serving users.
Dow Jones Developer Platform publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Dow Jones Developer Platform, Dow Jones Newswires Real-Time API, Dow Jones Newswires Top Stories API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Business Data, Compliance, Financial, Market Data, and News.
The Dow Jones Developer Platform catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Dow Jones Developer Platform’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, changelog, authentication, and 29 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Securities & Market Data regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

sales form, and the Postman and credentials docs both say to contact a Dow Jones representative.
