# LSEG, contact us: News API

> Refinitiv Data Platform provides simple web based API access to a broad range of content.

LSEG's Contact sales plan lets you call the news API. We check each provider's docs for 6 fields: Source, Date, Author, Snippet and 2 more. LSEG's docs list none of the 6.
We haven't run LSEG through [our news API benchmark](https://datacircle.dev/best-news-api.txt) yet.
LSEG gives this plan's price on request. We rank 940 plans for news APIs by price. Half the plans cost $1.50 or less per 1,000 searches.
[Alpaca's $99 monthly plan](https://datacircle.dev/news-apis/alpaca/99-monthly/llms.txt) is the cheapest paid plan per 1,000 searches. Alpaca's $99 monthly plan charges nothing per call. You get as many searches as Alpaca's rate limit allows. [AnswerLine's Starter plan](https://datacircle.dev/news-apis/answerline/top-up-from-1-starter-post-v1-async-task/llms.txt) costs the least for 10,000 searches a month: $2.00.
[Finage's $49 monthly plan (/news/cryptocurrency/{symbol})](https://datacircle.dev/news-apis/finage/49-monthly-simple-plan-get-news-cryptocurrency-symbol/llms.txt) covers any number of searches. Finage's $49 monthly plan costs less up front than Alpaca's $99 monthly plan.
[Scrappa](https://datacircle.dev/news-apis/scrappa/25-pack/llms.txt), [Hydrafetch](https://datacircle.dev/news-apis/hydrafetch/99-monthly/llms.txt) and [SerpScraper.dev](https://datacircle.dev/news-apis/serpscraper-dev/39-monthly/llms.txt) are the best news API providers in the Datacircle benchmark.
