2.Real-time and historical price data suitable for monitoring, back‑looking analysis, and context for trading ideas.
3.Clear configuration via OpenClaw settings or ~/.openclaw/.env using FINNHUB_API_KEY.
4.Good free tier (60 calls/min) for interactive assistant usage, with optional upgrade path for heavier workloads or premium endpoints.
5.Concrete curl examples and endpoint patterns make it straightforward to extend to new symbols, dates, or indicators.
Use Cases

- Pull recent company‑specific or general market news to provide context around a stock’s movement.
- Fetch company profiles and financial statements to support fundamental analysis explanations.
- Access earnings calendars and company earnings history when users ask about upcoming or past reports.

**Quick judgment**: This is a strong, general-purpose market data skill that gives the assistant deep read access to Finnhub’s ecosystem: real-time quotes, historical candles, news, profiles, financial statements, earnings, and some technical/trading signal endpoints. It is well-suited for most conversational finance and market-intel use cases, but it does not execute trades and some richer endpoints may require a paid Finnhub tier.
**Key strengths**
- Wide functional coverage: quotes, news, financials, earnings, indicators, and basic SEC filing search are all supported via well-documented endpoints.
- Clear configuration and usage: examples show exact URLs, required token parameter, and typical query patterns (symbol, date ranges, resolution, etc.).
- Appropriate rate limits for chat: the free tier (60 calls/min) is usually sufficient for interactive assistant sessions.
**Risks / limitations**
- **Rate limits and tiering**: heavy or multi-user workloads may hit free-tier limits, and some technical/filing endpoints may only work on paid tiers or slightly different paths.
- **Data completeness & latency**: as with any external API, response times and uptime depend on Finnhub’s service; transient failures or symbol coverage gaps are possible.
- **Financial interpretation risk**: the skill only fetches data, but applications must still avoid presenting results as personalized financial advice.
**Recommended scenarios**
- Building a research-focused assistant that can look up current prices, recent news, and basic fundamentals for equities on demand.
- Explaining market moves to users by combining quotes, news, and historical candles in natural language.
- Supporting educational or analytic workflows (e.g., “show me AAPL’s recent earnings and news before the last report”).
- Powering screening or idea-generation flows where the assistant suggests tickers, then uses this skill to fetch supporting data for discussion.
