Realtime News Infrastructure

Structured global information, delivered in real time.

SocketNews continuously monitors global news, events, press releases and public information flows, processing them into structured, machine-ready data streams — including summaries, facts, entities and rich metadata — designed for automation, monitoring and AI pipelines.

Structured output, ready to use

  • Concise, machine-ready summaries
  • Fact extraction and key claims
  • Entity recognition (people, brands, organizations)
  • Geolocation, categories and topics
  • Rich metadata for filtering, routing and automation
Features

A real-time pipeline for global information processing.

SocketNews operates as a continuous processing layer over global information flows, transforming unstructured information into structured, machine-ready data that can be directly consumed by applications, analytics systems and AI models.

Continuous ingestion

Global news, events, press releases and public information sources are continuously monitored and ingested in real time, ensuring immediate visibility into newly published items across countries and regions.

Intelligent processing

Each item is analyzed using AI pipelines to extract key facts, entities and signals, reducing noise and isolating only the information that matters for downstream systems.

Structured data layer

Processed outputs are normalized into a consistent, machine-readable structure, enabling seamless integration into monitoring tools, data pipelines and AI workflows.

Structured outputs are generated using advanced AI models. While processing is highly accurate, certain elements such as entities, locations or specific facts may not always be fully available depending on the nature and variability of global information flows. The system is continuously improving to increase coverage, precision and completeness over time.

Channels

A structured streaming layer for global information.

SocketNews distributes processed information through real-time streams organized by country and language. Each stream delivers focused, relevant signals for the countries, regions and audiences your systems need to monitor.

Country-based streams

Monitor specific countries and regions through country-level streams, from Italy, France, Argentina and the United States to 69 additional countries.

Language segmentation

Route information by detected language, preserving the context needed for localization, multilingual monitoring and downstream analysis.

Flexible subscriptions

Subscribe to predefined country-language channels, or create custom monitoring channels by combining selected country-language pairs with keywords, entities or topics for precise real-time signal extraction.

Early pricing

Lock lower pricing before it updates.

Current pricing is available until September 1, 2026. Subscribe now to lock today’s monthly price for your active channels, even if prices increase in the future.

Standard channel

Country-language stream for structured, real-time monitoring.

€6.00/mo €10.00/mo if you subscribe after September 1, 2026

Custom channel

Focused monitoring stream based on keywords, entities or topics.

€14.00/mo €22.00/mo if you subscribe after September 1, 2026

Price lock

Each channel keeps the price active at the time of subscription. Future price changes do not affect your already active channels.

If you subscribe to new channels later, those channels use the price active at that time.

Prices are locked at the time of subscription. Future price changes apply only to new channel subscriptions.

Use cases

Built for systems that need real-time information.

SocketNews is designed to act as a structured input layer for applications that rely on timely, relevant and machine-readable information across countries, industries and domains.

Brand & reputation monitoring

Track mentions of companies, executives and products in real time, extracting signals from global information flows without manual filtering.

Geopolitical and market intelligence

Monitor information flows across countries and regions, identifying relevant developments, policy changes and emerging situations as they happen.

LLM and AI ingestion

Feed structured, real-time information into AI systems, enabling more accurate, timely and context-aware outputs for downstream applications.

Automated alerting systems

Trigger alerts and workflows based on extracted signals, facts and entities, reducing latency between events and system responses.

Data pipelines and analytics

Integrate structured streams into data pipelines, dashboards and monitoring tools without additional parsing or preprocessing layers.

Generation pipelines

Use structured outputs as input for automated generation pipelines, reports, summaries and narrative systems.

Global activity

Realtime processed information activity since page load

Each point represents a processed information item associated with that country. The highlighted area shows current daylight across the globe, helping visualize when regions are more active.

How to use

Connect to your realtime channels in minutes.

Use one of the ready-to-run client examples, or build your own Socket.IO client. Authentication is handled with your SocketNews API key, and the server automatically assigns your connection to the channels active on your account.

Node.js client

Minimal Node.js example using Socket.IO. Configure your API key in the .env file, install dependencies and start receiving realtime news.

PHP client

Minimal PHP example for backend integrations. Configure your API key, install dependencies with Composer and connect to your subscribed streams.

Python client

Minimal Python example for data pipelines, automation systems and AI workflows. Configure your API key and run the client from the command line.

Build your own client

SocketNews uses Socket.IO. Connect your client using:

Server URL:
https://socketnews.com

Socket.IO path:
/socket.io/

Then send your API key in the Socket.IO auth payload:

auth: {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

After authentication, the server automatically subscribes the connection to your active standard and custom channels. You do not need to manually join rooms.

Listen for the connected event to receive the current channel list, and for the news event to receive realtime structured news payloads. The server may also emit subscriptions, channel_joined, channel_left, access_revoked and replaced_by_new_connection.

Live demo

See SocketNews powering an automated WordPress news site.

SocketNews.info is a live demo of a WordPress website automatically populated from active SocketNews channel subscriptions. It shows how realtime structured news streams can be used to feed publishing workflows, generate categorized content and keep a site continuously updated without manual curation.

Realtime channel ingestion

The demo site receives news from subscribed SocketNews channels and uses those structured payloads as the source for automated publishing.

Automated WordPress publishing

Incoming items can be transformed into WordPress posts, assigned to categories and enriched with extracted metadata such as people, organizations and locations.

Production-style integration

The demo illustrates how SocketNews can act as a realtime content layer for websites, dashboards, monitoring tools and automated editorial systems.

The demo is powered by SocketNews channel subscriptions and is intended to show one possible integration pattern. Developers can build similar workflows using the realtime API and the client examples provided above.
