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

```
Loading a live read…
```

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

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

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

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

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

Raw spaces in a URL are rejected by curl — use
`-d`

, dashes, `%20`

or `-G`

.

`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/AMDGenuinely open-ended questions — "should I buy
it?", your own portfolio, follow-ups — are what the [app](/#pricing) is for: it
runs these same tools with AI, on your machine.

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

`$ curl stockchat.sh/NVDA`

`$ curl stockchat.sh/AAPL/scorecard`

`$ curl stockchat.sh/congress`

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

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

`$ stockchat --serve`

`$ curl localhost:9000/NVDA`

`$ curl localhost:9000/AAPL/candles`

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

is a `/png`

away, but the ASCII is the point.

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