Search Articles by Subject

Use GET /api/v1/entities/search with a subject to find curated articles whose extracted themes mention a topic — a case-insensitive substring match against metadataJson.themes. Unlike ticker / person / company / organization, subject-only queries do not fill matchedEntity. Limited to enabled publications curated for chat. Free, no auth required.

Request

The endpoint requires at least one of ticker, company, person, organization, subject, or author. Multiple entity inputs are matched as alternatives; author and the other filters narrow the results.

curl "https://dripstack.com/api/v1/entities/search?subject=semiconductors&limit=5"

Parameter	Required	Description
`subject`	one of	Theme or subject, minimum 2 characters
`author`	one of	Source article author, minimum 2 characters, matched as a case-insensitive substring
`stockPicksOnly`	optional	`true` or `false` (default); only return articles linked to a stock pick when true
`sort`	optional	`latest` (default) or `earliest`, ordered by publication date
`publicationSlug`	optional	Restrict results to one publication
`publishedAfter` / `publishedBefore`	optional	`YYYY-MM-DD`, inclusive UTC calendar day bounds
`limit`	optional	1-30, defaults to 10
`cursor`	optional	Pass the previous response’s `nextCursor` to fetch the next page

Set sort=earliest for oldest first. Keep the same filters and sort when following nextCursor. Invalid parameters, reversed date bounds, or an invalid cursor return 400.

Results are sorted by publishedAt, most recent first by default (sort=latest). Use this to browse a named theme by recency. Broad “what are analysts saying about X?” research still belongs on /api/v1/search.
