)How Financial Data Collection Works with AlterLab
A complete financial data pipeline in four steps.
Submit Financial Source URLs
Send your target financial page URLs to the AlterLab scrape or batch endpoint — investor relations pages, economic data portals, financial news sites, market data aggregators, and regulatory filing portals. No per-site configuration required.
Automatic Rendering for Data-Heavy Pages
Financial data dashboards, interactive charts, and earnings tables are often rendered client-side via JavaScript. AlterLab detects whether a page requires a full browser and escalates to headless rendering automatically — returning the current data state without any configuration on your side.
Extract in Your Preferred Format
Request markdown output for LLM-ready financial text — clean prose and tables stripped of navigation. Request JSON for structured metadata from schema.org markup. Request HTML for custom parsing with financial-specific CSS selectors. Multiple formats can be requested in a single API call.
Schedule Around Financial Events
Align collection frequency with your data requirements: daily for news and market commentary, weekly for company metrics, and event-driven for earnings calendar dates. Use the batch endpoint to process all companies in your universe in a single request — without scaling your scheduling infrastructure.
