The problem
Bloomberg, FactSet, and S&P spent 30 years building market data for humans staring at terminals. The entire stack assumes an analyst in the loop to interpret and verify the numbers.
Agents can't use that stack. Instead, they need machine-readable schemas, natural language search, and a citation back to the source document. None of the incumbent infrastructure was built for the AI era.
What we built
The only market API your agent needs:
You can ship our data inside your own product. Redistribution included, no per-seat pricing, no anti-AI usage restrictions.
The team
I'm Virat, founder of Financial Datasets. I have spent 14 years working as a software engineer at tech companies like Acorns, Airbnb, and Faire.
I started Financial Datasets after getting frustrated by how difficult it was to give my agents high quality, real-time stock market data.
I have been building finance agents since 2022 and posting about it daily on X. My two open source projects, ai-hedge-fund (60K stars) and Dexter (27K stars), are used by professional and retail investors today.
Our ask
If you’re building agents that touch the market, I’d love to chat. You can also try Financial Datasets right now - it takes 30 seconds to set up and pull data from our API.
