According the docs news stories only have "is_link" and "story_text" XML elements, but no "id" or so. Am I missing something ? - What's the meaning of "is_link" ? To what item is the news story linked to ? Regards Dierk Droth www.trademagic.net TradeMagic - Trading at its best

Thus, you should already know the id. If you are asking how to know what the storyID is for a headline (so you can pull the full story), that is in the response message. Take a look at the "News Headlines by TCP/IP" in the documentation for details. The is_link function isn't currently implemented but is there so we can provide links to external stories should we decide to. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

Here is my question: Which XML document belongs to which news story id ? According the docs, there is no way to map the XML document back to the originating news id. Am I missing something ?

Thus, it isn't meant to pull batch stories. If you want a story, you will need to request the story, wait for it to come back (very fast), then move on to another.
