How to get real-time stock news in ChatGPT

ChatGPT’s standard responses to stock-news questions rely on training data and web search, which may be delayed, incomplete, unevenly sourced, or inaccurate for current market information. The Firecrawl plugin is presented as an alternative that connects ChatGPT to Firecrawl Alexandria, a library of more than 100 official data providers that includes Benzinga’s real-time financial newswire. Users can install the plugin, connect a Firecrawl account, accept applicable data terms, and request filtered news by ticker, topic, importance, or time window, with publication times and links to original stories. The service can also access Benzinga tools for explanations of price moves, analyst ratings, consensus ratings, unusual options activity, and M&A information, while monitors can repeatedly check for updates and send alerts by email or Slack. Searching available tools and prices is free, but data calls consume Firecrawl credits, with news searches listed at 30 credits and price-movement explanations at 45 credits. Coverage is primarily focused on US-listed companies, the plugin cannot access brokerage accounts or place trades, and the information is described as market research rather than investment advice.
