    I want to use IB news feed streaming API to get news and extract news by certain keywords. Is it possible? Is there any sample code on gibhub? Thanks in advance.

    It's possible to subscribe to real time news and receive everything (not just per symbol). It's not much different from any other functionality. I don't know what is available, but you can probably do it with the provided sample program.

    Thanks a lot. I just called IB API support and they told me most of news are not available through API due to agreement with news providers.

    Defo not possible with IB.
    But you can overlay your spreadsheet with a 3rd part provider.
    I use BAM SEC but they don't have an API yet.
