| MarketWatch/Nasdaq | media | 15 |

Public RSS is the slow lane. Wires publish to RSS on a 30–120 second delay and aggregators add more on top, so a free widget like this is fine for readers and useless for trading the print. If you need the headline the moment it crosses, that is a different class of product — Top Tier Newswire aggregates 40+ sources at sub-2-second latency with sentiment tagging and custom watchlists, and the delayed tier is free to try.

FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. No signup, no API key, no rate limit for normal site traffic. The widget carries a small “Powered by Top Tier Newswire” credit in the footer — that is the price.
How fresh are the headlines?
The server re-polls all 10 feeds every 90 seconds and the iframe reloads itself every 2 minutes. That is as fast as public RSS gets: the wires themselves publish to RSS on a delay of roughly 30–120 seconds, and aggregators add more. If you trade the news, that lag is the whole game — Top Tier Newswire runs 40+ sources at sub-2-second latency.
Will it slow my page down?
No. It is an iframe, so it loads in parallel and cannot block or touch your page. No trackers, no cookies, no third-party JavaScript injected into your DOM.
Can I filter to my own tickers?
Yes — add ?tickers=NVDA,AAPL,TSLA. Matching is on the headline text, so it works for cashtags ($NVDA) and plain mentions. You can also filter by source type with &kind=wire (press releases only) or &kind=official (Fed/regulator only).
Is there a JSON version?
Yes: /api/headlines.json with the same tickers, kind and limit parameters, CORS open. Please keep the credit line if you republish.
