Finance & markets research

Pull equities, crypto, SEC filings, and private-market data as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API — no scraping finance sites or parsing 10-Ks by hand.

When to use this skill

• "What's the price / financials / news for <ticker>?" or "chart its history."
• "What are <ticker>'s recent SEC filings / insider trades / institutional holders?"
• "What did <member of Congress> trade recently?"
• "What's <coin>'s market cap / price / trending right now?"
• "Give me a profile of <VC firm / private company / fund / LP>."
• Stock screening, earnings calendars, sector/industry overviews.

Setup (one-time)

• Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at https://crawlora.net.
• Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY in the environment before running the helper.
• The helper reads CRAWLORA_API_KEY from the environment and sends requests to https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Missing/invalid key → 401.

How it works

Pick the data domain, then the job:

1. Equities (Yahoo Finance) — /yahoo-finance/ticker/{symbol}/quote|info|history|financials|analysts|news|options|holders|dividends|splits for one symbol; /yahoo-finance/screener/{id} or POST /yahoo-finance/screener to screen; /yahoo-finance/search to resolve a name to a symbol; /yahoo-finance/trending/{region} for what's hot.
2. SEC filings — /sec/company/search to resolve ticker→CIK, then

/sec/company/submissions, /sec/filing, /sec/filing/sections (10-K/10-Q item extraction), /sec/financials (normalized statements), /sec/insider (Forms 3/4/5), /sec/institutional-holdings (13F-HR). /sec/full-text-search searches across all EDGAR filings; /sec/frames compares one XBRL concept across every filer for a period.

1. Congress — /congress/stock-disclosures to search public

congressional trade disclosures; /congress/report for one filed report's parsed detail.

1. Crypto (CoinGecko) — /coingecko/coin/{id} for a coin profile,

/coingecko/markets for market rows, /coingecko/trending//gainers-losers for momentum, /coingecko/global for the overall market.

1. Private markets (PitchBook) — /pitchbook/company|fund|investor|advisor|limited-partner

free/teaser profile pages (query params identify the entity — see reference).

Calling the API

# Equities:
scripts/crawlora.sh /yahoo-finance/ticker/AAPL/quote | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /yahoo-finance/ticker/AAPL/history period=1y interval=1d | jq '.'

# SEC filings (resolve ticker → CIK first):
scripts/crawlora.sh /sec/company/search q="Apple Inc" | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /sec/company/submissions cik=0000320193 | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /sec/insider cik=0000320193 | jq '.'

# Congress:
scripts/crawlora.sh /congress/stock-disclosures ticker=NVDA | jq '.'

# Crypto:
scripts/crawlora.sh /coingecko/coin/bitcoin | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /coingecko/trending | jq '.'

Use scripts/crawlora.sh for all requests; it keeps the API key out of command-line arguments.

Endpoint reference

See `reference/endpoints.md` for every Yahoo Finance, SEC EDGAR, Congress, CoinGecko, and PitchBook endpoint this skill uses.

Examples

• Ticker deep-dive: /yahoo-finance/ticker/{symbol}/info +

/financials + /analysts + /ticker-news, cross-checked against /sec/financials for the audited numbers.

• Insider-trading watch: /sec/insider for a company's Form 4 filings,

and /congress/stock-disclosures filtered by the same ticker to see if lawmakers traded it too.

• Crypto momentum scan: /coingecko/gainers-losers then /coingecko/coin/{id}

for the top movers' fundamentals.

• VC due diligence: /pitchbook/company for the teaser profile, then

/pitchbook/investor for its backers.

Notes & limits

• Credits / pay-on-success: billed only on 2xx; free tier 2,000 credits/mo.

Key at https://crawlora.net.

• Public data only — public quote/filing/disclosure pages; not investment advice.
• Security: key lives in CRAWLORA_API_KEY only — never hardcode, query-param, or commit it.
• PitchBook profiles are free-tier teasers (not the paid platform's full data)

— treat fields as directional, not exhaustive.

• SEC full-text search only covers filings from 2001 onward.
