open-market-data

What This Skill Does

The open-market-data (omd) skill serves as a unified command-line interface for retrieving financial and economic information. It acts as an abstraction layer over eight distinct data providers, including SEC EDGAR, Yahoo Finance, Binance, CoinGecko, FRED, Finnhub, Alpha Vantage, and the World Bank. The skill features an intelligent routing engine that automatically selects the most reliable source for a given request and provides automatic fallback mechanisms if a primary source hits a rate limit or experiences downtime. Users can access real-time stock quotes, historical price data, financial statements, insider trading logs, SEC filings, cryptocurrency market stats, and comprehensive macroeconomic indicators without manually switching between different platform APIs.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anotb/open-market-data

Ensure that you have your preferred API keys ready if you intend to use services like FRED or Finnhub, as some providers require authentication for unrestricted access. Configuration can be managed via environment variables or the built-in omd config command.

Use Cases

• Investment Research: Retrieve quarterly financials and earnings reports to perform fundamental analysis on public companies.
• Algorithmic Trading: Use the --json output flag to feed price history into automated trading scripts or local databases.
• Macroeconomic Analysis: Query global GDP or unemployment data from the World Bank and FRED to gauge economic health.
• Corporate Surveillance: Monitor SEC filings and insider transactions for specific tickers to track executive sentiment.
• Crypto Portfolio Tracking: Fetch real-time market rankings and historical trends for various digital assets.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current stock price for NVIDIA and show me their latest 10-K filing from the SEC."
2. "What are the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market cap right now?"
3. "Get the historical GDP data for the United States and plot the last 10 years of growth."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: While the tool handles fallbacks, sources like Alpha Vantage have daily request limits. If you reach these limits, the routing engine will automatically attempt to use a secondary provider.
• Cache Management: Data is cached by default for speed. Use the --no-cache flag if you require absolute real-time information.
• Data Integrity: Always verify critical financial data against official investor relations websites. This skill is intended for analysis, not as a primary source for trade execution.
