FinzData for Hugging Face

Built for AI, quants, data scientists and financial analysts who backtest. Clean data. Real insights. Real alpha.

FinzData gives Hugging Face point-in-time market data, macro vintages and server-side backtests through function calling and MCP — so the model answers market questions with real numbers it can cite, never guesses.

No API key needed

FinzData works the moment you install it: no FinzData account and no FinzData key. Your model gets the free AI preview (the last 6 months of data) automatically, and it knows to tell you when older or deeper data needs a key. When you want more, get a free API key (email only, 12 months of data) at https://finzdata.com/account, or full history at https://finzdata.com/shop, then set FINZDATA_API_KEY. Nothing else changes.

Install

pip install finzdata-huggingface

Quick start

from finzdata_huggingface import ask
print(ask("How did managed money positioning in crude oil change over the last 3 months?"))   # no FinzData key needed

What to ask

• "How are speculators positioned in crude oil futures by the latest COT report?"
• "Show SPY's dealer gamma, call wall and put wall for the last 30 sessions."
• "What did the first-published CPI print say last month, before revisions?"
• "Backtest a 12-month momentum strategy on US stocks, delisted names included."
• "How many ships transited the Strait of Hormuz each day last month?"
• "Who are the largest 13F holders of NVDA, and who added the most last quarter?"

Free strategies

Every strategy on the FinzData strategies page re-runs free on its full history (since 2000, delisted stocks included), on FinzData's servers, with no API key: ask the model to list the strategies and re-run one. Changing a strategy or testing your own idea over full history needs a purchase.

FinzData Workspace on Cloudflare

For an agent that keeps files and runs code next to the data between sessions, add the FinzData Workspace MCP server https://workspace.finzdata.com/mcp with a free FinzData key (email only, https://finzdata.com/account). Its strategy_run tool saves a strategy's spec and results into the workspace for analysis.

Command line

finzdata-huggingface "How did managed money positioning in crude oil change over the last 3 months?"
finzdata-huggingface --show-tools

Inference Providers

Set HF_TOKEN and pick any of the top open models by family name or Hub id:

family	Hub id
qwen	Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B
qwen-fast	Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B
kimi	moonshotai/Kimi-K3
glm	zai-org/GLM-5.3
deepseek	deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813
deepseek-fast	deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash
llama	meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct
gpt-oss	openai/gpt-oss-120b
gemma	google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it
minimax	MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3

from finzdata_huggingface import ask
ask("Which ETFs saw the largest 13F ownership changes last quarter?", model="kimi")
ask("Plot-ready: SPX gamma flip for the last 20 sessions", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct")

Each id above was live with several Inference Providers in November 2026. Hub ids evolve; any Hub model with tool calling works.

smolagents

from finzdata_huggingface import smolagents_agent
with smolagents_agent("qwen") as agent:
    agent.run("Backtest a 50/200-day moving-average cross on SPY since 2005 and report the Sharpe ratio.")

Or take the tools alone: with smolagents_tools() as tc: tools = tc.tools.

Tiny Agents

finzdata-huggingface --write-tiny-agent finzdata-agent
tiny-agents run ./finzdata-agent

Hugging Face Spaces and Gradio

Try it in the browser: https://huggingface.co/spaces/FinzData/finzdata-open-models. The same ask call powers a Gradio app in a few lines.

Llama, Gemma, Mistral, gpt-oss and MiniMax

All of them run through the same ask(..., model=...). Mistral's open models run best on your own machine: see pip install finzdata-ollama.

Use with any OpenAI-compatible server

from finzdata_huggingface import openai_tools, FinzDataMCP
tools = openai_tools()          # pass as `tools=` to any chat.completions call
result = FinzDataMCP().call("get_cot", {"market": "crude"})   # run the tool the model picked

Tool profiles

lite (6 core tools, for small models), data (23 data, backtest and strategy tools, the default) and full (every read tool). Tools that change data on FinzData are never exposed unless you ask for them explicitly.

Coverage

16,000+ US stocks that have traded on NYSE and Nasdaq since January 2000, delisted included, point in time; 5,100+ ETFs; 139 futures markets with every contract since 2007; point-in-time options gamma (GEX) for single stocks, ETFs and the major indexes; CFTC COT since 1986; 13F holdings; SEC fundamentals as filed; end-of-day options chains; 22,700+ macro series with every vintage kept; 512 crypto pairs (Bitcoin since 2013); FX for 79 currency pairs; 123 indexes incl. the VIX term structure; tick trades for 1,100+ US stocks and ETFs; FinzData Global Macro Pulse (ship transits through 28 chokepoints, port calls, flights, toll traffic); 1, 5, 15, 30-minute, hourly and daily bars; server-side backtests.

Access

No key needed to start: AI/MCP use gives the last 6 months. A free account (email only, https://finzdata.com/account) gives the last 12 months of daily US stock bars, COT, SEC fundamentals, US macro and 13F, and the last 30 days of futures and daily GEX.
