Anysite now exposes MarketWatch data as structured REST endpoints — seven dedicated access points into Dow Jones's flagship financial platform, covering real-time quotes, price history, financial statements, news, and global market overviews. 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.
