It connects to over 350 financial datasets from dozens of providers, covering equities, forex, options, crypto, economics, and alternative data like social media sentiment and SEC filings. The platform offers multiple interfaces including a Python library, REST API, Excel add-in, and a web-based Workspace with AI Copilot for natural language queries, automated analysis, and instant chart generation.
