finance-markets-research

Researches stocks, crypto, SEC filings, insider/congressional trading, and private-market (VC/PE) profiles via the Crawlora API — Yahoo Finance quotes/financials/history/options, SEC EDGAR filings and financial statements, congressional stock disclosures, CoinGecko crypto markets, and PitchBook company/fund/investor teasers — returning clean JSON. Use when the user asks about a ticker's price/financials/news, a company's SEC filings or insider trades, what a member of Congress traded, a crypto coin's market data, or a private company/fund/investor profile.

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 ?" or "chart its history."
• "What are 's recent SEC filings / insider trades / institutional holders?"
• "What did trade recently?"
• "What's '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.
• export CRAWLORA_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here
• All requests: x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY against 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.
3. Congress — /congress/stock-disclosures to search public congressional trade disclosures; /congress/report for one filed report's parsed detail.
4. 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.
5. Private markets (PitchBook) — /pitchbook/company|fund|investor|advisor|limited-partner free/teaser profile pages (query params identify the entity — see reference).

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.
