Vibe Coding Help
Introduction
Vibe coding can be a very efficient way to create and manage applications. This guide will help you set up and use the FinTech Studios API to integrate the rich set of information that FinTech Studios can make available.
Note
The help pages in this section can be used to instruct an agent in your Vibe coding environment directly. Just copy and paste the relevant page into the agent's chat input box.
Recommended Workflow
The endpoints build on each other in a specific sequence. Follow the steps below in order — each step's output feeds into the next.
| Step | Action | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Authenticate — get token and userId |
Yes |
| 2 | Discover Trending Entities — see what's hot in the news | Optional |
| 3 | Get User's Channels or Channel by ID — retrieve stages |
Yes |
| 4 | Read Articles — fetch articles using stages |
Yes |
| 5 | Resolve Entity IDs — convert entity IDs to names | Recommended |
| 6 | Generate AI Summary — LLM analysis of retrieved articles | Optional |
Authentication
The first step to getting access to the FinTech Studios API is to get authenticated. As you think about the application you want to create, consider whether you want to use the API in the background for all users or if you want each user to manage their own FinTech Studios API credentials. The main difference is that if you manage the API in the background all activity will be tracked to your FTS API Key, while if you allow each user to have their own API Key, each user will be responsible for their own activity.
In your setup, you will need to create three settings fields to manage the API authentication.
- Global API Authentication and Management — Tell the agent to set up Global Settings for the FinTech Studios API that can only be managed by an Admin user. Make sure you set yourself up as the initial Admin User so that you can manage the credentials.
- Individual API Authentication and Management — Tell the agent to set up User Settings that can be updated by each individual user and should be used for authentication for that user.
Note
If you are using the Global API Authentication and Management option, use secrets for the UserID, Password, and API Key information discussed below. Otherwise, for Individual API Authentication and Management the API Key should be treated as if it were a second Password.
Settings Fields
Implement these fields using the language above depending on how you want to use the API.
- Email Address
- Password
- FTS API Key
Trending Entities
The Trending Entities endpoint is a great first endpoint to implement because it requires no additional setup and immediately returns useful data about what is currently trending in the news.
The Trending Entities Endpoint returns a set of entities trending based on current news coverage — immediately useful for displaying Hot Topics, Hot Companies, Hot Regions, or any entity category the platform covers.
Retrieve Channel Definitions
The Channel Definition Endpoint returns the definition for a channel, which you then use to read articles. The stages component of the channel definition is the basis for all article filtering.

Read Articles
Once you have a channel definition and its stages, use the Read Articles Endpoint to fetch the articles associated with that channel.
Entity Lookup
Articles return entity IDs, not names. Use the Entity Lookup Endpoint to convert those IDs into readable entity information.

Generate AI Summaries
Once you have articles, the Generative API lets you pass those articles to an LLM to generate summaries, analysis, or answers grounded in the retrieved content.
