Ready-to-import n8n workflows that turn AlphaAI's relevance-scored, ticker-linked financial news into alerts, digests and automations — no code.
Website · API docs · OpenAPI spec · MCP server
AlphaAI is a financial-news API + MCP server. Every article is enriched with per-ticker analysis, a category, an AI sentiment, and a 1–10 relevance score — so you skip the "fetch raw news, then classify it with an LLM" step. The feed arrives pre-scored and ticker-linked.
- Free tier: 100 calls/day (20/min). Get a key at alphai.io/account/api-keys.
- Higher limits on Basic / Pro — see pricing.
| # | Template | What it does | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| 04 | AI morning market briefing | Pre-open brief for your watchlist — news, sentiment & insider data, written by your own AI model, with deterministic red-flag alerts | Email + Discord |
| 01 | Trending news alerts | Fresh top market stories (relevance ≥ 8) as rich cards | Discord |
| 02 | Watchlist daily digest | One daily email of your tickers' high-relevance news | |
| 03 | Insider (SEC Form 4) alerts | Material insider buys/sells, colour-coded | Discord |
Every alert links back to the full analysis on alphai.io.
- Grab a free API key → alphai.io/account/api-keys.
- In n8n: ⋮ → Import from File → pick a JSON from
templates/. - On the AlphaAI HTTP node, set Authentication → Generic Credential Type →
Bearer Auth, and paste just your key
ak_live_…(noBearerprefix — n8n adds it). No secret is stored in the workflow itself. - Configure the delivery node (Discord webhook URL, or SMTP for email).
- Execute Workflow to test, then Activate.
Schedule (weekdays 07:00) → Set Watchlist and Settings → 4 parallel AlphaAI branches
(per-ticker news · 7-day sentiment · 30-day Form 4 insider summary · market trending)
→ Merge → Assemble → LLM chain (any chat model) → Render → Email + IF red flags → Discord
Every weekday before the open, builds a personal market brief for your watchlist and emails it as clean HTML. Deterministic code decides the red flags (bearish score ≥ 8 news or a notable insider filing in the last 24h) — the AI model only writes the narrative, so it cannot invent alerts; urgent flags also ping a Discord channel immediately, and the email subject flips to 🚩.
Setup: Bearer Auth credential (one, shared by the four AlphaAI nodes), an OpenAI credential on the model node (or swap it for Anthropic/Gemini — the chain doesn't care), SMTP on the email node, and optionally a Discord webhook. Up to 6 tickers fits the Free tier (≤ 19 calls/run).
Schedule (15 min) → GET /api/news/trending/ → Build cards → Discord webhook
Posts fresh, high-relevance stories (score ≥ 8) to a Discord channel as rich embed cards — one message per run, de-duplicated across runs. Each card shows the ticker(s), AI sentiment / confidence / actionability / likely price impact, colour-coded by sentiment, with the title linking to the full analysis.
Setup: Bearer Auth credential with your key, and a Discord channel webhook URL (Channel → Edit → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy URL).
Schedule (daily) → Define Watchlist Tickers → GET /api/news/?symbol=…&min_relevance=7 → Build Digest Email → Send Digest Email
Once a day, fetches the high-relevance news (score ≥ 7) for each ticker on your watchlist and emails one clean HTML digest, grouped by ticker, each item linking to the article on alphai.io. De-duplicated across days.
Setup: edit the tickers array in the Define Watchlist Tickers node, add a Bearer
Auth credential, and create an SMTP credential on the email node (any provider; Gmail
works with an app password). Tip: run up to Build Digest Email to preview the HTML
before wiring SMTP.
Schedule (30 min) → GET /api/news/insider/ → Build cards → Discord webhook
Pushes material insider activity — SEC EDGAR Form 4 trades plus institutional-stake
stories — to Discord as colour-coded cards: detected Buy/Sell, direct/indirect
holding, ticker, score, and a link to the filing. De-duplicated across runs. Tune the
MIN_SCORE threshold in the code node.
Setup: Bearer Auth credential and a Discord webhook URL.
- No secrets in the JSON. Your API key lives in an n8n credential, never in the workflow file — safe to fork and share.
- Ticker forms: US is bare (
AAPL), crypto is<SYM>-USD(BTC-USD), foreign uses the Yahoo suffix (VOD.L,7203.T). - Relevance score (1–10): rates the article's trading value — 7–8 real company news with a fresh catalyst, 9–10 primary/material/newly-disclosed. Defaults filter to ≥ 4; the templates raise that where it helps.
- Built on the generic HTTP Request node, so they run identically on n8n Cloud and self-hosted.
