Discover and extract financial news for tracked portfolio companies across 33 verified Tier 1 sources (Bloomberg, Reuters, FT, WSJ, IntelliNews, ČTK, PAP, BTA, TASR, ING Think, ECB, EC Press Corner, ...) plus broad Google News fallback. Use when the user asks to find news about a company, get press coverage, monitor financial press, run a news scan, or check headlines for a portfolio company. Reads tracked companies from data/companies.json. Do NOT use for marketing/social-listening (use apify/awesome-skills) or for morning-briefing formatting (out of scope).

git clone https://github.com/apify/awesome-skills /tmp/awesome-skills && ln -s /tmp/awesome-skills/skills/apify-financial-services/skills/apify-financial-news ~/.claude/skills/apify-financial-news

## From README

Financial News Intelligence Discover and extract financial news for portfolio companies via Apify Actors. Two modes: Single company — news scan for one company. Portfolio scan — same pipeline run across multiple companies. 33 Tier 1 sources organized in 4 categories (Global / Pan-European / Institutional / CEE Local). Tier 2 = broad Google News fallback for unverified domains. Estimated cost: $0.10–0.50 per single company, $1–5 per full portfolio scan. Prerequisites Apify access — preferred: apify CLI (npm -g apify-cli && apify login); fallback: Apify MCP connector (call-actor tool). CLI is faster and preferred when both are available. Python 3 + pip readability-lxml lxml (for the extractandclean.py post-processor) Companies data at ${CLAUDEPLUGINROOT}/data/companies.json ${CLAUDEPLUGINROOT} is the plugin's root directory (where .claude-plugin/ lives). It is resolved automatically by Claude Code when the plugin is installed, or set to the --plugin-dir path during development.
