Decks · News
A news deck puts headlines on one line of the ticker, apart from prices. You build a news component, tick it into a deck and put the deck on a line. No API key is needed.
Public bodies on our list. Central banks, government agencies and statistics offices whose terms allow a paid product to carry their headlines. Newsroom feeds need a paid licence, so you add those yourself, for your own use. Why →
Build this one in the app. Browsers are blocked from reading most feeds directly, so this deck is built in the ScoutDex app. Download →
STEP 1 — BUILD A NEWS COMPONENT
Filter the list by language, country and topic, then tick the sources you want. You build it once and can add it to any deck.
It is the one topic public bodies publish themselves. For sports, world news and other topics, add the feeds yourself under Added by you.
Each line runs one deck. Two news decks take two of the ticker’s three lines.
STEP 2 — ADD IT TO A DECK
Change the component and every deck that uses it changes too. A headline carried by two components shows once.
You can keep a line to the headlines that mention the names or subjects you follow.
A news deck has no Alerts tab. Alerts belong to symbol and indicator decks.
STEP 3 — PUT THE DECK ON A LINE
The Federal Reserve, SEC, BLS, BEA, US Treasury, Statistics Korea, Bank of Korea, ECB, ONS and Taiwan’s central bank. Each headline names its source. ECB headlines carry a note that they are free to read at ecb.europa.eu.
The Bank of England, the Bank of Japan and the HKMA ask a paid product for permission, so they are not on our list. Add them yourself, the same way as any other feed.
Paste a feed’s RSS address in the app. It appears under Added by you, and your computer reads it for your own use, the way an RSS reader does. That publisher’s terms apply to you. Docs 2-4 →
HOW IT ARRIVES
Your computer fetches the headlines from each publisher’s public feed. They don’t pass through our server.
We don’t select, rank, rewrite or summarize anything. What the publisher sends is what runs on the line.
The line shows the headline. The full story stays on the publisher’s site.
Write to us on the contact page and we block it in the app.
WORTH KNOWING
A line carries one kind of information, so headlines never mix into a price line.
Publishers keep posting when markets are shut, and the line keeps running.
SMALLER QUESTIONS
Their terms allow a paid product to carry their headlines with a credit. Newsrooms require a paid licence, and some no longer run a public feed at all.
Paste its RSS address into a news component. Your computer reads it for your own use, so the publisher’s personal-use terms apply. Docs 2-4 →
It comes with Deck ($49 a year). A paid news service that uses its own API key counts as a connection, at $10 a year. The only free deck is the sample crypto deck. Pricing →
A line is one sentence wide. The story belongs to the publisher, and the link takes you there.
