Authentication

When a user creates an account and logs in to MyMarketNews, they are authenticating themselves.  Authentication allows a user to pull data, save preferences and save reports in MyMarketNews. It also adds an additional layer of security.

Errors

MyMarketNews uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a charge failed, etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with MyMarketNews servers (these are rare).

HTTP status/response code meanings

Sorting

Once a user has data from My Market News, they will need to sort it. The MyMarketNews API provides the ability to sort and/or filter data. The sort feature allows user the ability to manipulate data using conditions. By default, data is sort automatically by report date in descending order.
