Formulas for
Ticker News returns the latest news stories about one ticker symbol: US stocks and ETFs, stocks on 18 international markets, cryptocurrencies, futures and currency pairs. Each story comes with its headline, link, source, publisher and publication time, and is tagged as directly about the company or as a related market story. Paid plans add story summaries, headline tone and more stories per call.
It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 2 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.
A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.
Drop =VERVE("tickernews", "AAPL", "field", "name") into a cell and your model reads the latest number every refresh — no more pasting figures from a browser tab into a stale sheet.
Fill a column beside your list of tickers or currencies and every row updates together, so a hundred-row watchlist stays current on its own.
Point a chart at the cell =VERVE("tickernews", "AAPL", "field", "name") feeds and the chart re-draws as the data moves — a finance dashboard that's live instead of a Monday-morning snapshot.
The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.
Google SheetsAdd-onInstall from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.
=VERVE("tickernews", "AAPL", "field", "name")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-inSame source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.
=VERVE.CALL("tickernews", "AAPL", "field", "name")Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.
The market of the listing, when the ticker trades in more than one: a two-letter market code, CRYPTO, FUTURES or FX. Defaults to the US listing.
=VERVE("tickernews", "AAPL", "market", "US")direct returns only stories whose headline or summary names the company or ticker; all also returns the sector round-ups and peer stories the news feeds carry for the ticker.
=VERVE("tickernews", "AAPL", "relevance", "direct")Return only stories published at or after this date or date-time (ISO 8601), for example 2026-10-01 or 2026-10-01T14:00:00Z.
=VERVE("tickernews", "AAPL", "since", "2026-10-01")Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one.
