Run the Agent

After completing the steps above, simply run the following command to start the development server:

pnpm dev

Your app template should now be running on localhost:3000.

Financial Data API

This template uses the Financial Datasets API as the financial data provider. The Financial Datasets API is specifically designed for AI financial agents and LLMs.

The Financial Datasets API provides real-time and historical stock market data and covers 100% of the US market over the past 30 years.

Data includes financial statements, stock prices, options data, insider trades, institutional ownership, and much more. You can learn more about the API via the documentation here.

Note: Data is free for AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT, NVDA, and TSLA.

If you do not want to use the Financial Datasets API, you can easily switch to another data provider by modifying a few lines of code.
