Short answer

You tell your AI what ticker, indicator, or date range you need in plain English. It uses the connector to pull that specific data into your chat. You'll see the exact outcomes and workflow below.

The results

What you get from the connection

The AI handles the database queries so you don't have to hunt for specific datasets manually.

DATA

Structured tables

The AI uses get_datatable to pull specific rows and columns. You get clean, organized data ready for your analysis.

QUERY

Natural language filters

Instead of writing API calls, you just ask for specific timeframes or tickers. The AI translates your request into a precise query.

ANALYSIS

Instant context

Once the data is in the chat, your agent can immediately calculate trends or compare different economic indicators.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You stay in the loop. You decide if the data is correct and whether to use it for your final work.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for data.

The AI acts as the bridge between your question and the Nasdaq Data Link database.

  1. Identify parameters

    get_datatable

  2. Map the query

    The AI converts your natural language into the specific parameters the database needs to find your data.

    get_datatable

  3. Fetch the data

    The AI executes the request to pull the historical prices or economic metrics you asked for.

    get_datatable

  4. Present results
