DataSinking

DataSinking

Full-text financial reports across the US and Asia, as clean Markdown.

DataSinking serves full-text financial reports — annual, semi-annualand quarterly — from the US, the UK, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan as clean Markdown, ready for LLM readingand RAG. Query by FMP-style symbol (AAPL, 600519.SS, 7203.T, 005930.KS, 2330.TW) or filter byexchange, report period, or section — pull just the MD&A / risk section instead of the wholefiling, saving tokens. Every figure is traceable to its source disclosure andblock. Reports are sourced from official disclosure platforms and parsed into structured Markdownwith YAML frontmatter, preserved headings, paragraphs and tables.

MCP server

Ship DataSinking to any AI agent (Claude / Cursor / Codex / Devin Desktop / n8n) as anMCP server — 6 tools: list exchanges, list stocks,list reports, fetch a report, list sections, fetch one section (token-friendly for RAG).

Hosted — nothing to install

One URL, no package, no Python, no local server. Most clients take this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasinking": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.datasink.ing/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code, in one line:

claude mcp add --transport http datasinking https://api.datasink.ing/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

A client that can't set a header can put the key in the URL instead —https://api.datasink.ing/mcp?apikey=YOUR_KEY — but only do that when you must: a key in a URLends up in logs and screen shares, and no client can redact it.

Two clients don't fit the shape above: Codex's config is TOML, and Devin Desktop's remote field isserverUrl, not url. Per-client files: docs/mcp/.

Local — run it yourself

If you'd rather keep everything on your own machine, there are two identical builds — pickwhichever runtime you already have:

Node 18+ (no Python needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "datasinking-mcp"],
      "env": { "DATASINK_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Python 3.8+:

pip install "datasinking[mcp]"
datasinking-mcp          # requires DATASINK_API_KEY (free at https://datasink.ing)

Then use command: datasinking-mcp in your client.

Both run the same six tools with the same schemas — npm/ and datasinking/mcp_server.py arekept in lockstep by check_mcp_parity.py.

Full per-client setup: mcp-server.md (overview) ·docs/mcp/ (one guide per client).

The hosted endpoint is POST-only and stateless — GET /mcp returns 405, and no session id isissued. Most clients read MCP config at launch, so restart one after changing its config.

What this repo is

Examples, research and tutorials showing how to work with financial report data, including reproducing the presentation styles found in financial-report research papers.

Per-client MCP guides — one file each, with the exact config path, both scopes, verification and theerrors that client actually produces:

Quick start

1. Get an API key at datasink.ing
2. One line (FMP-style ?apikey=):

curl "https://api.datasink.ing/documents?symbol=600519.SS&with_content=1&apikey=YOUR_KEY"

Or in Python:

pip install datasinking

from datasinking import DataSinking

ds = DataSinking("YOUR_KEY")
for r in ds.get_stock_reports("600519.SS", limit=3):
    print(r["report_period"], r["title"], len(r["content"]), "chars")

All five functions (curl / Python / LLM): api-examples.md.

Ask an LLM (no code)

Don't want to write code? Point any LLM at datasink.ing,give it your API key, and ask in plain language. Seellm-examples.md for eight end-to-end examples — explorecoverage, list a company's reports, and extract a figure with correct units.

Examples (examples/)

Every example pulls from the live API and runs as-is.

03_download_exchange.py fetches every report on an exchange (e.g. all of Shenzhen — 150k+ documents). Quotas count documents, not requests, over a rolling 7-day window: a free key gets 3 req/s and 8,191 documents per 7 days, inside a pool of 524,287 per 7 days shared by all free users and website visitors. A whole exchange will therefore take well over a week on a free key — a paid (yearly) key (31 req/s, 524,287 documents per 7 days) is strongly recommended.

Research (research/)

research/ hosts research notes and blog posts, each based on DataSinking data with the source cited. You can reproduce charts and presentations found in financial-report research papers, e.g.:

• Long-term revenue / profit trends
• Industry comparison and distribution
• Time series of financial metrics

Start from research/TEMPLATE.md.

Data overview

Data source

Reports are sourced from the official regulatory disclosure platform of each market and converted in-house to clean Markdown:

Every document also carries a source field in the API response, so the attribution travels with the data. Please keep it when you redistribute.
