Finnhub Skill

Use Finnhub as a read-only market data source.

Core Rules

1. 1. Treat this skill as data retrieval only.
2. Never place trades or modify accounts through this skill.
3. Require a valid FINNHUB_API_KEY before making live requests.
4. If the API key is missing, explain how to configure it instead of guessing.
5. Prefer concise outputs: summary first, raw fields second.

Supported Use Cases

• - Real-time quote lookup
• K-line / candle retrieval
• Company profile lookup
• Symbol/company news lookup
• Earnings calendar / earnings history lookup
• Economic calendar lookup
• Crypto and forex reference data (if supported by the user plan)
• Structured daily stock news report (price + news + trader-style interpretation)

Configuration

Expect the user to provide:

CODEBLOCK0

Optional base URL override is supported only for the official Finnhub domain:

CODEBLOCK1

Default base URL:

CODEBLOCK2

Security rule:

• - Only allow INLINECODE1
• Do not point this skill to arbitrary hosts or proxies that could capture the API key

Execution Layer

Use the bundled script:

CODEBLOCK3

Supported commands:

• - INLINECODE2
• INLINECODE3
• INLINECODE4
• INLINECODE5
• INLINECODE6
• INLINECODE7
• INLINECODE8

Default output is human-readable. Use --raw when the user explicitly wants JSON.

Recommended Request Pattern

Use the bundled Python script for live calls instead of rebuilding requests from scratch.

When constructing requests:

• - URL-encode symbol and other parameters
• Validate time range inputs before sending
• Keep requests read-only
• If the user asks for a very broad request, narrow the scope first

Output Style

Quote

Return:

• - symbol
• current price
• absolute change
• percent change
• high / low / open / previous close
• timestamp if available

Candles

Summarize:

• - symbol
• resolution
• start/end window
• number of candles returned
• latest OHLCV row

Only dump the full array when the user explicitly asks.

Company Profile

Return:

• - company name
• ticker
• exchange
• currency
• country
• market cap
• industry / IPO date if available
• website

News

Return:

• - headline
• source
• published time
• URL
• short summary if available

Prefer 3-5 most relevant items unless the user asks for more.

Common Tasks

1. Real-time quote

Use Finnhub quote endpoint for stocks or supported symbols. If the user gives a bare ticker like AAPL, use it directly. If the user gives crypto/forex, confirm Finnhub symbol format if needed.

2. Candles / K-lines

Ask for or infer:

• - symbol
• resolution (1, 5, 15, 30, 60, D, W, M)
• from timestamp
• to timestamp

If the user asks loosely (e.g. “last week”), convert it into a concrete range.

3. Company profile

Use the company profile endpoint when the user asks “what is this company”, “profile”, “market cap”, “which exchange”, etc.

4. News

Use company or market news endpoints depending on the request:

• - company-specific → company news
• broad market / macro → market news

5. Earnings / calendar

Use earnings calendar for upcoming results and earnings history if the user asks what already happened.

6. Daily stock report

When the user asks for a daily report like:

• - “发我 TSLA 昨天的新闻总结”
• “做一个 NVDA 昨日新闻日报”
• “给我 AAPL 的价格+新闻日报”

Build the report in this order:

1. 1. quote / price summary first
2. most important 3-5 news items
3. market narrative and trader interpretation
4. final rating

For the report format, read:

• - INLINECODE19

If candle/volume endpoints are unavailable due to Finnhub plan limits:

• - still produce the report
• explicitly say that detailed candles/volume are unavailable under current access
• avoid inventing volume comparison or trend detail

Error Handling

If Finnhub returns auth or quota errors:

• - State the likely cause clearly
• Do not fabricate fallback data
• Suggest checking API key, plan limits, or symbol format

If symbol format is ambiguous:

• - Ask one clarifying question
• Do not assume unsupported exchange suffixes
