Headline Licence
The FT Headline Licence allows you to build customisable news feeds so you can integrate relevant FT content into the applications of your choice. So your readers get important updates and insight from the FT, when they need it and how they want it.
Users benefit from:
- More relevant content as users have the ability to define what makes an article relevant and create many customised lists of headlines. This allows for better targeting and personalisation.
- Quicker, more convenient access to FT content within your existing workflow solutions.
- Greater flexibility and increased control as data feeds can be updated in real time on a self service basis.
Capabilities
The Headline Licence allows you to search for and retrieve headlines and teaser text, with links to full articles on FT.com. Using the Headline Licence, you can:
- Curate feeds for client newsletters or emails,
- Deliver automatic, real-time updates to users on terminals or via web / mobile services,
- Integrate news content into CRM systems and intranets, and
- Fully customise news delivery to meet user workflows and requirements.
