Financial Datasets API

FinancialDatasetsTools provide a comprehensive API for retrieving and analyzing diverse financial datasets, including stock prices, financial statements, company information, SEC filings, and cryptocurrency data from multiple providers.

Prerequisites

The toolkit requires a Financial Datasets API key that can be obtained by creating an account at financialdatasets.ai.

uv pip install agno requests openai

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export FINANCIAL_DATASETS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Example

Basic usage of the Financial Datasets toolkit:

agent = Agent(
    name="Financial Data Agent",
    tools=[FinancialDatasetsTools()],
    description="You are a financial data specialist that helps analyze financial information for stocks and cryptocurrencies.",
    instructions=[
        "When given a financial query:",
        "1. Use appropriate Financial Datasets methods based on the query type",
        "2. Format financial data clearly and highlight key metrics",
        "3. For financial statements, compare important metrics with previous periods when relevant",
        "4. Calculate growth rates and trends when appropriate",
        "5. Handle errors gracefully and provide meaningful feedback",
    ],
    markdown=True,
)

# Get the most recent income statement for Apple
