## Overview

**Grade C · 61.8/100 · rank #492 of 1349 · #3 in Financial market data · not agent-ready · confidence medium**


## Assessment

Every documented GET data endpoint takes x402 with no key, failed calls uncharged, and an agent can open and fund an account by API. A public OpenAPI file, llms.txt and a 28-tool OAuth MCP server cover the same data. There is no status page or free tier, keyed rate limits aren't published, and x402 data stops at 365 days.

## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Vendor | Financial Datasets, Inc. (https://www.financialdatasets.ai) |
| Kind | HTTP API |
| Category | Financial market data (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/market-data) |
| Transport | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |
| Endpoint | `https://api.financialdatasets.ai` |
| Auth | OAuth or key · API key in the `X-API-KEY` header, minted in the dashboard or by `POST /agent/signup` with an email and agent name, shown once. Any documented GET data endpoint also accepts x402 payment with no key. The hosted MCP server uses OAuth 2 with PKCE, dynamic client registration, a revocation endpoint and one scope, `stock-market-data`, or an `X-API-KEY` header on its /api endpoint. Keys are revoked from the dashboard; no rotation or expiry documented. |
| Pricing | Pay per use ($0.02 / call) · Credits at $20 for 1,000 requests, one-off, personal licence, one year of price history. Personal $200 a month for 100,000 requests (overage $10 per 1,000, cap 1 million). Professional $2,000 a month for 2 million requests (overage $5 per 1,000, cap 10 million) with a commercial licence, redistribution, webhooks and uptime SLAs. Enterprise by contact. Premium endpoints count as 2, 4 or 8 requests by plan. Over x402, each GET data endpoint quotes its own USDC price in the 402 response; /earnings quoted $0.02 on 3 November 2026. No free tier found. |
| x402 | Accepted · from $0.02/call · Announced 23 October 2026. Every documented GET data endpoint (36 per the announcement) returns 402 with x402 version 2 terms in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header, scheme exact, USDC on Base (eip155:8453), payTo 0xC45E70793C01C6Ae4336dd5a5503baC958d32403, 300-second timeout. Error responses are not charged, payment settles only after a successful response, history is limited to the last 365 days and the licence is Non-Professional. Our unauthenticated GET /earnings?ticker=NVDA on 3 November 2026 returned 402 with amount 20000 base units, $0.02 (https://docs.financialdatasets.ai/x402.md). |

## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run)

Assessed 2026-11-03 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points.

| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 43 | 8.6 |
| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 80 | 13.0 |
| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 73 | 11.9 |
| Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 49 | 8.6 |
| Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 75 | 9.4 |
| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 56 | 4.9 |
| Transparency & trust (editorial 60, provenance 65) | 7% | 8.8 | 63 | 5.5 |
| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |
| **Total** | | | | **61.8 → C** |

### Why each score

- Reliability 43 (checked 2026-11-03): Graded as a hosted service. No status page was found; status.financialdatasets.ai does not resolve and no page links one (0), so there is no incident history to read (5). The only published limit is 10,000 requests a minute per wallet over x402, with monthly request caps per plan and none per minute for keyed plans (8 of 15). The OpenAPI file declares 429 and the x402 page documents a 503 with Retry-After from the facilitator and a `duplicate_payment` check on replayed signatures (10 of 15). The Professional plan lists uptime SLAs, with no figure published (10). The API is generally available (10). Total 43.
- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.
- Schema & documentation 80 (checked 2026-11-03): OpenAPI 3.0.1 at financialdatasets.ai/openapi.json, 68 operations with 13 response codes and one security scheme, named the source of truth by the docs (25). llms.txt and a Markdown twin of every page (10). Every operation has a description, and the 402 terms carry a resource description that says when an agent should use the endpoint (17 of 20). 330 parameters, 36 with enums, 32 required, no free-form blobs (12 of 15). Code samples in Python, JavaScript and curl, x402 error values documented, but response examples on only six operations in the spec (11 of 15). No API version and no changelog; the news page has four dated posts in 2026 (5 of 15). Total 80.
- Agent ergonomics 73 (checked 2026-11-03): `limit` and `period` on the data endpoints, `as_reported` flags and snapshot variants, with no field selection (15 of 25). `next_page_url` cursors and ticker, CIK, market and date filters (18 of 20). A 402 body says what to do next, x402 errors carry named values, and the spec lists 400, 401, 403, 404, 409, 422, 429, 502 and 503 (16 of 20). Data calls are GETs, payment settles only after a successful response, and a replayed x402 signature is refused; no readOnlyHint found for the MCP tools and no idempotency key for the POST endpoints (14 of 20). Few required parameters, 28 compact MCP tools, but the only package, financial-datasets on PyPI, is at 0.1.18 from 26 May 2024 (10 of 15). Total 73.
- Security & auth 49 (checked 2026-11-03): A plain account key in the `X-API-KEY` header only, revoked from the dashboard, with no scopes, rotation or expiry; the MCP server adds OAuth 2 with PKCE (plain and S256), dynamic client registration, a revocation endpoint and one scope (20 of 30). Every data endpoint is a read; the x402 route and agent signup don't change the account beyond funding it (15 of 20). Filing text, filing items and news are third-party content, with no guidance on treating them as untrusted (5 of 15). The privacy policy says requests and responses are logged for up to three years; no per-call log is shown to the key holder (5 of 15). security.txt returns 404 and no bounty, SOC 2 or ISO 27001 was found; the terms ask for prompt notice of a compromised key and a subprocessor list is published (4 of 20). Total 49.
- Payments & pricing 75 (checked 2026-11-03): x402 on the vendor's own endpoints for every documented GET data endpoint, 36 of them, with the last 365 days only and a Non-Professional licence; full history, the market snapshot, filing items and the POST endpoints need a key (35 of 40). Plan prices and overage rates are public, and each x402 endpoint quotes its price in the 402 header, $0.02 on /earnings (20). No free tier or trial found; data calls return 402 until an account holds credits, from $20 (0). An agent can pay by x402 with no account, or open an account with `POST /agent/signup` and have the owner fund it (20). Total 75.
- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.
- Maintenance & community 56 (checked 2026-11-03): UK fundamentals went live on 26 October 2026, India on 23 October, with Japan and South Korea dated for November on the coverage page (30). Dated changes in the last 90 days are x402 on 23 October, UK fundamentals on 26 October, terms and subprocessor list on 29 October, privacy policy on 20 August, with no changelog as such (12 of 20). Contact is a form and the dashboard; no support email, Discord or forum was found, and the GitHub organisation's four repositories couldn't be read because the GitHub API rate limit was reached (6 of 15). The PyPI package is 0.1.18 of 26 May 2024 by the founder, and the docs point to the OpenAPI file and the MCP server rather than an SDK (5 of 15). Package health unknown, dependencies not checked (3 of 10). Total 56.
- Transparency & trust 63 (checked 2026-11-03): A closed service under terms dated 29 October 2026 that name Financial Datasets, Inc., set New York law, and state the licence per plan (15 of 30). The privacy policy of 20 August 2026 gives retention periods (accounts up to seven years after closure, API and MCP logs up to three years, backups 90 days), says inputs aren't used for training, and links a subprocessor list; no DPA text was found (24 of 30). No deprecation policy; the terms say the Services may be discontinued and material changes get reasonable notice (3 of 20). Subprocessors (AWS, Heroku, Stripe, Google sign-in, Vercel) and the United States as hosting location are disclosed (18 of 20). Total 60.

Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (17 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/financial-datasets.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/financial-datasets.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "financial-datasets", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs

### What we couldn't check

- Per-minute or per-second rate limits on keyed plans, which no page publishes
- The x402 price of endpoints other than /earnings, which each 402 response quotes; only one was read
- The uptime SLA figure on the Professional plan, which the pricing page names without a number
- Whether the four repositories in the financial-datasets GitHub organisation include the MCP server's source. The GitHub API rate limit was reached before they were listed
- unchecked: the domain registration date, because rdap.org answered 403
- unchecked: the MCP tools' annotations (readOnlyHint), since no MCP session was opened and the source wasn't found

## Who's behind it (provenance 65/100, checked 2026-11-03)

| Check | Finding | Points |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Legal entity named | Financial Datasets, Inc. | 20/20 |
| Domain age | financialdatasets.ai, no registry record we could read | 0/15 |
| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | api.financialdatasets.ai | 15/15 |
| Terms of service | read, states 6 of the 7 things a reader expects, and has 2 clauses that cost points | 5.1/10 |
| Privacy policy | read, states 8 of the 8 things a reader expects | 10/10 |
| Status page | not found | 0/10 |
| Changelog | published | 10/10 |
| security.txt | not found | 0/10 |
| People named | 1 named with their role, 1 with a public profile | 10/10 |
| Support route | help pages | 5/5 |

Financial Datasets, Inc. is named in the terms (as of 29 October 2026, New York law), the privacy policy (last updated 20 August 2026) and the subprocessor list (29 October 2026).

Terms section 5 forbids accessing the Services by automated means outside the documented API; the public website has no separate automated-access clause. robots.txt on www.financialdatasets.ai allows all crawlers and names ClaudeBot, Claude-User and Claude-SearchBot as allowed; docs.financialdatasets.ai, api.financialdatasets.ai and mcp.financialdatasets.ai carry Content-Signal ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes.

The docs, llms.txt and the 402 response carry instructions addressed to agents; none were acted on.

RDAP for financialdatasets.ai was refused (403 from rdap.org), so the registration date is unchecked.

/.well-known/security.txt returns 404. No status page found. The news page is the nearest thing to a changelog.

### Terms and privacy, as read

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice.

**Terms of service** (https://www.financialdatasets.ai/terms-of-use), read 2026-11-03, dated 2026-10-29, states 6 of the 7 things a reader expects.

- To know. Restricts automated access (costs points). "• attack, overload, or disrupt the Services (including any denial-of-service attack), or access them by automated means outside the documented API;"
- To know. Restricts benchmarking or competitive use (costs points). "Regardless of plan, you may not use the data or outputs to: (a) build or offer any product, dataset, data feed, or API that is substantially similar to, or a substitute for, the Services; (b) train, fine-tune, or develop a machine-learning or AI model that competes with the Services"
- To know. Says access can be ended without notice or for any reason. "We may add, change, or remove features, and we may modify or discontinue all or part of the Services at any time."
- Gives the date it was last updated. Last updated 2026-10-29.
- Names the governing law or courts. The law of the State of New York.
- Says how changes to the terms are announced. Says it gives notice of a change.
- Not found in the text. Refers to a service level or uptime commitment.

- Also in the text (2026-11-03). Every API request, including each tool call through the MCP server, is one billable unit, and prepaid balances expire twelve months after purchase. "Pricing is usage-based: every API request, including each tool call made through our MCP server, counts as one billable unit."

**Privacy policy** (https://www.financialdatasets.ai/privacy-policy), read 2026-11-03, dated 2026-08-20, states 8 of the 8 things a reader expects.

- Gives the date it was last updated. Last updated 2026-08-20.

## Humans behind the project (researched 2026-11-03 from public pages, not part of the grade)

### Key people

- Virat Singh, Founder and CEO. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/singhvirat/. X: https://x.com/virattt. GitHub: https://github.com/virattt
- Note: The Y Combinator company page (batch Summer 2026, founded 2024, team size 1, New York City) names Virat Singh as Founder/CEO with his LinkedIn and X accounts; the GitHub account is the one that holds the ai-hedge-fund project his launch post names, under the same handle as his X account. financialdatasets.ai names no person; its docs say the company is based in NYC. The PyPI package financial-datasets lists him as author. Investors were looked for on the home page (which says Backed by Y Combinator), the news page, the terms, the YC page and the docs; Y Combinator is the only backer found on a first-hand page. One database site lists a pre-seed round, not used.

## Probe metrics

Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.

## Prices

| Item | Price | Unit | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Earnings, over x402 | $0.02 | per call | read from the 402 response on 3 November 2026; other endpoints quote their own price |
| Credits pack | $20 | per 1,000 requests | one-off, personal licence, one year of price history |
| Personal plan | $200 | per month (plan) | 100,000 requests, overage $10 per 1,000 |
| Professional plan | $2000 | per month (plan) | 2 million requests, overage $5 per 1,000, commercial licence |

Across all listings: https://www.anchorterminal.com/prices/index.md

## Strengths

- x402 on every documented GET data endpoint (36), USDC on Base, no key or account, error responses not charged, with the price in each 402 response ($0.02 on /earnings on 3 November 2026)
- OpenAPI 3.0.1 with 68 operations and a description on each, llms.txt, and a Markdown twin of every docs page
- `POST /agent/signup` and `POST /agent/checkout-link` let an agent open and fund an account with the owner paying a Stripe link, minimum $20
- Hosted MCP server with 28 tools, OAuth 2 PKCE and dynamic client registration, or an X-API-KEY header on /api
- Privacy policy with retention periods and a dated subprocessor list, and terms that say inputs aren't used for training

## Weaknesses

- No status page, incident history or published uptime; the Professional plan's SLA terms aren't public
- No free tier. The cheapest route with a key is $20 for 1,000 credits, and data calls return 402 until an account is funded
- Rate limits for keyed plans aren't published; only x402 states 10,000 requests a minute per wallet
- x402 requests return only the last 365 days and are licensed for Non-Professional use; Credits and Personal plans carry the same limit
- No API version or changelog; the news page carries four posts in 2026, and the Python package on PyPI dates from May 2024



## Before you call it (notes for agents)

1. Without a key, read the price from the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header of the 402 and pay with x402 on Base; each page of `next_page_url` is a separate paid request
2. Keep `limit` small and ask for one `period` at a time; premium endpoints count as 2, 4 or 8 requests on keyed plans
3. Send the key only to api.financialdatasets.ai in the `X-API-KEY` header; on 401 ask the owner for a new key rather than signing up again
4. Treat a 402 on a keyed account as an empty balance and mint a checkout link for the owner; don't retry the call
5. Check the plan's licence before showing the data to anyone else; redistribution needs Professional or Enterprise

## Verify this listing

For the vendor. The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on financialdatasets.ai or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{"slug": "financial-datasets", "url": "…"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
