How are sentiment scores computed for the Stock News Sentiments RSS Feed API?

The sentiment scores for the Stock News Sentiments RSS Feed API are computed based on the number of positive and negative/neutral comments received in a 24-hour period. For example, if there are 500 positive comments and 500 negative/neutral comments, the sentiment score would be calculated as (500 * 1) + (500 * 0) = 500. The average mentions per day value would then be 500 / 1000 = 0.5. Additionally, the Average Hype Index (AHI) and Relative Hype Index (RHI) are calculated to provide further insights into sentiment.

How does the bandwidth limit work for the financial data API?

The 30-day bandwidth limit is a rolling aggregation of the total data consumed via the API over the past 30 days.

Users can analyze their data consumption through the dashboard, which provides a breakdown by API call.

Why am I getting 502 - Bad Gateway error?

The bulks were designed initially to mitigate significant numbers of requests to the API and were mainly used to fill the database initially. They should not be run that frequently. What likely happened is that you were connected to one server and the overwhelming number of bulk requests overloaded the service. (Note we have over 200-300 servers globally at any given time). When you connect to the API the balancer will assign you one service closest and the most healthy to provide data to you - until your connection ends (typically every 60 seconds it will refresh you to another healthier service to keep you on the same service). We do have restrictions in place for select bulk endpoints and we will put more restrictions in place moving forward, however for now, it's best if you spread out your requests as they are updated once every 6-8 hours.
