# Company News
> Retrieve recent news articles for an NGX-listed company by ticker symbol.
This endpoint returns recent news articles for a specific NGX-listed company, identified by its NGX ticker symbol. Articles are sourced in real time from Nigerian financial news outlets.
Use `limit` to control how many articles are returned (default 5, max 10), and `maxAge` to set the maximum article age in days (default 90). Each article includes `pub_date`, `days_old`, and `time_ago` fields for convenient age display. News is fetched live on each request, so response times may be slightly higher than data endpoints.
For example, to fetch the 10 most recent DANGCEM articles from the last 30 days:
```bash curl theme={null}
curl "https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/companies/DANGCEM/news?limit=10&maxAge=30" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY"
```
```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
const url = new URL('https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/companies/DANGCEM/news');
url.searchParams.set('limit', '10');
url.searchParams.set('maxAge', '30');
const res = await fetch(url, {
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY' },
});
const { data } = await res.json();
```
```python Python theme={null}
import requests
res = requests.get(
'https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/companies/DANGCEM/news',
params={'limit': 10, 'maxAge': 30},
headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY'},
)
data = res.json()['data']
```
If no articles are found within the configured age window, the data array is empty. This endpoint requires a Starter plan or higher.
