Factiva is Dow Jones' business information and research service, providing licensed access to a global news and data archive drawn from more than 33,000 sources across 200 countries and 28 languages. Its API suite lets organizations search and retrieve licensed articles, run one-time historical extractions (Snapshots), subscribe to real-time filtered news streams over Google Cloud Pub/Sub, resolve the ~350,000-code Dow Jones Intelligent Identifiers taxonomy of companies, industries, regions and news subjects, and feed copyright-compliant content into retrieval-augmented generation stacks. Access is contract-based: there is no self-service signup and no published pricing, and credentials are issued by Dow Jones after a trial request.
