Sep 10, 2024

Welcome to the September 2024 edition of our release notes. This update provides a comprehensive overview of the latest enhancements to the Massive.com platform, featuring new tools, API functionalities, and educational content designed to improve your experience and capabilities.

New Features & Improvements

This section highlights the latest enhancements and additions to the Massive.com platform. From infrastructure upgrades to new functionalities, these developments are designed to improve service performance and user experience.

Chicago Data Center Now Operational

Massive.com has expanded its infrastructure with a new data center in Chicago, now fully operational and serving live traffic. This addition complements our Equinix NY campus data center, enabling us to operate two dedicated facilities that improve service performance and reliability through added redundancy and decreased latency for all users.

Sentiment Analysis with Ticker News API Insights

Our Ticker News API has been upgraded to include advanced sentiment analysis, utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract structured insights such as ticker mentions, sentiment, and summaries from unstructured financial news. This enhancement enables users to monitor sentiment trends efficiently for specific tickers, providing a valuable tool for market analysis.

Here’s a simple example of how to retrieve news insights for a ticker using the API:

from massive import RESTClient

client = RESTClient()

# Fetch news articles for 'AAPL' with insights
news_articles = client.list_ticker_news(
	"AAPL", 
	params={"published_utc.gte": "2024-09-03"}, 
	order="desc", 
	limit=1000
	)

# Display the title and insights for each article
for article in news_articles:
    print(f"{article.title} [Insights = {article.insights}]")

Here's an example of the Insights object that showcases these enhancements:

Title: Apple, Nvidia Key Supplier TSMC Leads Taiwanese Chip Giants To Localize Neon Gas Production By 2025

Insights = [
    Insight(
        sentiment="positive",
        sentiment_reasoning="TSMC is leading the initiative to localize neon gas production, which is a significant step towards enhancing supply chain reliability for the Taiwanese semiconductor industry.",
        ticker="TSM",
    ),
    Insight(
        sentiment="positive",
        sentiment_reasoning="UMC is considering purchasing locally produced neon gas from Linde LienHwa, further supporting the initiative to localize neon gas production.",
        ticker="UMC",
    ),
    Insight(
        sentiment="positive",
        sentiment_reasoning="TSMC, a key supplier for Nvidia, is leading the effort to localize neon gas production, which will benefit Nvidia's supply chain.",
        ticker="NVDA",
    ),
]

Finding Connections with the Related Companies API

We are excited to introduce the Related Companies API, a new feature designed to identify and analyze connections between companies based on news articles and financial data. This innovative tool can help you uncover inter-company relationships across various sectors.

Here’s a simple example of how to retrieve related companies for a ticker using the API:

from massive import RESTClient

client = RESTClient()

# Retrieve and display companies related to Apple Inc.
related_companies = client.get_related_companies("AAPL")
print(related_companies)

Here's an example of the related companies being returned:

$ python examples/rest/stocks-related_companies.py
[
    RelatedCompany(ticker="MSFT"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="GOOGL"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="AMZN"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="GOOG"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="TSLA"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="NVDA"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="META"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="NFLX"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="DIS"),
    RelatedCompany(ticker="BRK.B"),
