1,381 live feeds across 24 domains · updated continuously
Alternative Data · 1381 live feeds · 24 domains · AI-native API

The data nobody else archives, served over one API

The product is the data: 1381live feeds today — physical metal premiums, filings, sensor networks, occupancy panels, shelf prices — most of them ephemeral pages that get silently overwritten and archived nowhere else. Append-only, point-in-time, captured every 20 minutes, machine-readable end to end. We also run a signal research program on this data and publish the results in the Research Lab below. To be plain about what that means: we sell data feeds, not trading signals — validated trading signals to date: 0 proven, 1 candidate (Monero mean-reversion) in paper-testing.

Breadth, Not One Trade
1,543+ feeds · 24 domains

Live coverage, as of the last stats refresh: 1381 scraper modules running against 1574 tables in the production database — 728 of those scrapers run daily-or-finer(hourly to every-few-hours; the rest weekly/monthly where the underlying source itself is that slow) — out of 1,543+ catalogued across 24 domains. Coverage grows every night, and this line only ever reflects what is actually running, not the full catalog.

A sample of the live catalog below — weighted toward daily-or-finer feeds, the ephemeral data that makes this a live sensor network rather than a report archive:

Representative of the 1,543+ data feeds catalogued across 24domains — browse every domain below, or the full live catalog further down the page.

The value of the library is that most of these feeds are ephemeral and archived nowhere else. COT reports are available to every desk; a page that changes daily and is silently overwritten, with no history retained at the source, is not. These are data feeds, not trading signals — only research that clears the five-stage validation process on /aboutwould ever be marked “validated,” and to date none has.

Live Feeds
1,453 feeds · 1,056,911 entities tracked · 12,516 fields

Every feed is tested live against its real source before it ships. Plus 14 hedge-grade feeds held back from this catalog entirely — GPU/AI-compute pricing, supply-chain leads, healthcare utilization — not listed, not for sale.

Signal R&D · 0 proven · 1 candidate in paper-testing

We run a systematic signal research program on our own data and publish all results, including null results. Current state: after rebuilding the test infrastructure to grade every signal at its real publication date, we reran the full search — 15,035 statistical tests across 296 feeds; none cleared our significance threshold. Of 27 lead-lag pairings tested, one passed re-verification, marginally. One previously published signal was withdrawnafter re-verification identified a data-alignment error in its scoring. Signals are R&D; the data above is the product. The one live candidate — a Monero mean-reversion strategy — is unproven and in paper-testing, not for sale. All forward performance is tracked in a paper ledger that opened at zero and accrues only forward.

Signal write-ups

SIGNAL-001 (NRC reactor exhaust vs the EIA nuclear print) and SIGNAL-002 (USDA boxed-beef cutout vs LE futures) — graded out-of-sample, with caveats and rejected candidate features documented.

Lead-lag verification

27 feed-to-stock pairings tested, then re-verified under stricter controls. One passed. Full results for all 27 pairings are published, including the 26 that did not.

Forward ledger

Every paper order is decision-stamped before its entry price exists, with costs deducted. Opened 2026-07-14 at zero. Includes a labeled noise-control strategy.

Methodology

The five-stage validation process applied to every signal — point-in-time hygiene, out-of-sample holdout, multiple-testing correction — and the claims we do not make.
