Is there an API where one can consume latest ticker price info and news updates?

[dylz → notastartup]

Yes, for about $15000-50000 per month x the number of individual services you want to aggregate.

[mm0 → notastartup]

yes, you have to pay the $20,000 bloomberg subscription.

Trying to buy each feed indvidually will set you back MORE than $20k. For example, you want stock feeds? Do you want the NASDAQ feed or the NYSE feed? What about the CDNs? And if you want the RAW feed you're also going to hire someone to parse it for you.

And then hire five more people to fix data errors.

Most people don't realize that clean and correct data is really, really, really expensive to make.
