"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

The total number of headlines is less than the limit I specified in the NHT command, yet no data is returned prior to 8/7/2008 at 9:20am. Is there a way to get additional history?

However, there is also currently a limit of 500 headlines returned for any given request. Unfortunately, for a few news types, this is making it so you cannot receive the entire day's headlines. We are currently investigating the posibility of removing this 500 headline limit. The only way to get more than the current day's headlines would be to search by a specific symbol.
