Benzinga
Benzinga is a Detroit-based financial media and market data company (founded 2010, acquired by Beringer Capital in 2021) that licenses its newsroom and data products through a developer-first API platform at docs.benzinga.com. Products span real-time financial news (Newsfeed, Press Releases, Why Is It Moving), quantified news sentiment, a deep corporate-events Calendar (earnings, dividends, ratings, IPOs, splits, economics, FDA, M&A, government and insider trades), delayed quotes, historical OHLCV bars, fundamentals, logos, ticker trends, and earnings-call transcripts. Delivery is REST over https://api.benzinga.com with API-key auth, plus WebSocket streams, a TCP streaming service (tcp-v1.benzinga.io:11337), and a data webhook engine. OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specs are published in the public Benzinga/benzinga-docs GitHub repo. Access is licensing-led with a developer console registration flow; no public pricing page.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Benzinga the way a machine reads it — 97 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Benzinga scores 52.5/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 26/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

APIs 44

This is an independent, third-party profile of Benzinga, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
