Alternatives to Finnhub

  • Finks

    Best for: AI agents that search in plain English and need the passage that answers, with its source.

    Finks is a search API built for AI agents. Your agent searches in plain English and gets back the results that answer it, each linked to its source. Today that covers news, SEC filings and earnings call transcripts.

    Filing results can carry the matching passage in the filing's own words, which your agent can quote and cite. The Finks MCP server adds the same search to Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible client.

    Finnhub's company news lists articles by ticker. Finks answers a question and returns the passage, not just the headline.

    What Finks does not do

    Finks does not return stock prices, time series, technical indicators or financial statements. If your agent needs those, keep Finnhub or another market data API for them.
