StockChat CLI — curl the market from any terminal

">

no install · any terminal · free · no key

Your stock desk is a curl away.

Every read StockChat computes — quotes, charts, analyst scorecards ,<br>congress trades, world markets — over plain HTTP. Pipe it, script it, alias it.<br>No signup, no API key, nothing to install.

$ curl stockchat.sh/NVDA─ ◻ ✕

Loading a live read…

$ curl stockchat.sh/NVDA<br>copy<br>works in any shell, right now

don't know the command?

Just ask in English.

Same endpoint, no key, no AI bill: your question is routed onto one of<br>the deterministic reads below, and the answer tells you the short command it used — so you<br>only have to ask once.

$ curl stockchat.sh -d "how is aapl doing"copy

four ways to phrase it

$ curl https://stockchat.sh -d "how is aapl doing"copy

$ curl https://stockchat.sh/why-is-amd-downcopy

$ curl "https://stockchat.sh/who%20owns%20nvidia"copy

$ curl -G --data-urlencode "q=is tesla overbought" https://stockchat.shcopy

Raw spaces in a URL are rejected by curl — use<br>-d, dashes, %20 or -G.

what it routes to

how is aapl doing/AAPL/overview

who owns nvidia/NVDA/smart

is tesla overbought/TSLA/ta

why is amd down/AMD/news

is nvidia cheap/NVDA/valuation

which analysts were right on apple/AAPL/scorecard

dividend for coca cola/KO/div

how is the market/regime

what's moving today/movers

compare nvda and amd/compare/NVDA/AMD

Genuinely open-ended questions — "should I buy<br>it?", your own portfolio, follow-ups — are what the app is for: it<br>runs these same tools with AI, on your machine.

two ways to curl

Hosted, or fully offline on your own machine.

The same deterministic engine either way — pick your trust model.

hosted &middot; zero setup

curl stockchat.sh

$ curl stockchat.sh/NVDAcopy

$ curl stockchat.sh/AAPL/scorecardcopy

$ curl stockchat.sh/congresscopy

$ curl stockchat.sh/xray/AAPL:15000/NVDA:9000/XOM:4000copy

Always on, nothing to install. Great for a quick read, a cron job, or a status bar.<br>Free and unauthenticated.

local &middot; offline &middot; your data

stockchat --serve

$ stockchat --servecopy

serving on http://localhost:9000

$ curl localhost:9000/NVDAcopy

$ curl localhost:9000/AAPL/candlescopy

Own the app? It ships the same endpoint built in . Point it at your own local<br>database and curl your machine — no network, no key, nothing leaves your PC.<br>(Rolls out with the next app release.)

real output

Charts and tables, in the terminal.

Rendered from primary-source data — green up, red down. A pixel-perfect PNG<br>is a /png away, but the ASCII is the point.

$ curl stockchat.sh/MSFT/pnfcopy

$ curl stockchat.sh/NVDA/renkocopy

$ curl stockchat.sh/worldcopy

$ curl stockchat.sh/compare/AAPL/MSFT/GOOGLcopy

Don't take our word for it. Run it.

This is not a recording. Every line below is fetched from the<br>same endpoint your shell would hit, and returns the same bytes.

$ curl stockchat.sh/…─ ◻ ✕

Type a ticker and press Enter. Try NVDA , or click one below.

$ curl stockchat.sh/<br>run

&uarr;&darr; history &middot; Tab completes &middot; help lists every command

the whole surface

One command per read. 50-plus of them.

Bare ticker &rarr; overview. Add a command for a specific read.<br>Add /sixel to any chart for a real inline image in your terminal.

PER-TICKER &middot; curl stockchat.sh// — either order works, and a period can go anywhere (/vp/NVDA, /NVDA/candles/60d)
