# Factiva

> Factiva is Dow Jones' business information and research service: a licensed global news
> archive of more than 33,000 sources, wrapped in an API suite for search, retrieval, bulk
> extraction, real-time streaming and taxonomy lookup. Access is contract-based — there is no
> self-service signup and no public pricing. Credentials come from a Request Trial form and a
> sales conversation. This file was generated by API Evangelist from the provider's own
> published documentation and specifications; Factiva does not serve an llms.txt of its own.
