Corporate credit data API for AI agents
Project description
DebtStack.ai Python SDK
Corporate credit data for AI agents.
Why DebtStack?
Equity data is everywhere. Credit data isn't.
There's no "Yahoo Finance for bonds." Corporate debt structures, guarantor chains, and covenant details are buried in SEC filings—scattered across 10-Ks, 8-Ks, credit agreements, and indentures. An AI agent trying to answer "which telecom companies have leverage above 5x?" would need to read dozens of filings, extract the right numbers, and compute ratios manually.
DebtStack fixes this. We extract, normalize, and serve corporate credit data through an API built for AI agents.
Three Things You Can't Do Elsewhere
1. Cross-Company Credit Queries
# Find distressed telecom companies
GET /v1/companies?sector=Telecommunications&min_leverage=5&sort=-net_leverage_ratio
Screen 177 companies by leverage, coverage ratios, or maturity risk in one call. No filing-by-filing analysis.
2. Pre-Built Entity Relationships
# Who guarantees this bond?
POST /v1/entities/traverse
{"start": {"type": "bond", "id": "893830AK8"}, "relationships": ["guarantees"]}
Guarantor chains, parent-subsidiary hierarchies, structural subordination—mapped and queryable. This data exists nowhere else in machine-readable form.
3. Agent-Ready Speed
< 100ms response time
AI agents chain multiple calls. If each took 30 seconds (reading a filing), a portfolio analysis would take hours. DebtStack returns in milliseconds.
Installation
pip install debtstack-ai
For LangChain integration:
pip install debtstack-ai[langchain]
Quick Start
from debtstack import DebtStackClient
import asyncio
async def main():
async with DebtStackClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
# Screen for high-leverage companies
risky = await client.search_companies(
sector="Telecommunications",
min_leverage=4.0,
fields="ticker,name,net_leverage_ratio,interest_coverage",
sort="-net_leverage_ratio"
)
# Drill into the riskiest one
ticker = risky["data"][0]["ticker"]
bonds = await client.search_bonds(ticker=ticker, has_pricing=True)
# Check guarantor coverage on their notes
for bond in bonds["data"]:
guarantors = await client.get_guarantors(bond["cusip"])
print(f"{bond['name']}: {len(guarantors)} guarantors")
asyncio.run(main())
Synchronous Usage
from debtstack import DebtStackSyncClient
client = DebtStackSyncClient(api_key="your-api-key")
result = client.search_companies(sector="Energy", min_leverage=3.0)
What's In The Data
| Coverage | Count |
|---|---|
| Companies | 211 (S&P 100 + NASDAQ 100 + high-yield issuers) |
| Entities | 28,128 (subsidiaries, holdcos, JVs, VIEs) |
| Debt Instruments | 4,496 (bonds, loans, revolvers) with 97% document linkage |
| Bond Pricing | 3,557 bonds with FINRA TRACE pricing (updated 3x daily) |
| SEC Filing Sections | 14,511 (searchable full-text) |

Examples
Which MAG7 company has the most debt?
result = await client.search_companies(
ticker="AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL,AMZN,NVDA,META,TSLA",
fields="ticker,name,total_debt,net_leverage_ratio",
sort="-total_debt",
limit=1
)
# Returns structured data in milliseconds, not minutes
Find high-yield bonds trading at a discount
result = await client.search_bonds(
seniority="senior_unsecured",
min_ytm=8.0,
has_pricing=True,
sort="-pricing.ytm"
)
Who guarantees a specific bond?
guarantors = await client.get_guarantors("893830AK8")
for g in guarantors:
print(f"{g['name']} ({g['entity_type']}) - {g['jurisdiction']}")
# Output:
# Transocean Ltd. (holdco) - Switzerland
# Transocean Inc. (finco) - Cayman Islands
# Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc. (opco) - Delaware
# ... 42 more entities
Search for covenant language
result = await client.search_documents(
q="maintenance covenant",
section_type="credit_agreement",
ticker="CHTR"
)
# Returns matching sections with highlighted snippets
LangChain Integration
from debtstack.langchain import DebtStackToolkit
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_openai_functions_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain import hub
toolkit = DebtStackToolkit(api_key="your-api-key")
tools = toolkit.get_tools()
llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4")
prompt = hub.pull("hwchase17/openai-functions-agent")
agent = create_openai_functions_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools)
result = agent_executor.invoke({
"input": "Which telecom companies are most at risk of default?"
})
MCP Server (Claude Desktop)
Add to ~/.config/claude/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"debtstack-ai": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "debtstack.mcp_server"],
"env": {
"DEBTSTACK_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Then ask Claude:
- "Which energy companies have near-term maturities and high leverage?"
- "Who guarantees the Transocean 8% 2027 notes?"
- "Compare Charter's debt structure to Altice"
Pricing
DebtStack offers usage-based pricing with a free tier to get started.
