Daloopa provides 3 tools that can be used to interact with its services.

Discover Companies

discover_companies
Full Description

Search for companies in the Daloopa database using ticker symbols or company names.

This tool searches the Daloopa database for companies matching the provided keyword, which can be either a ticker symbol or company name. The search results include for each keyword, the ticker, full company name, and company ID needed for subsequent data retrieval.

Search Strategy: 1. PRIMARY: Ticker Symbol Search

  • For ticker search: Use the exact ticker symbol (e.g., "AAPL", "MSFT")

2. SECONDARY: Company Name Search (only if ticker fails)

  • IMPORTANT: Omit legal entity designations (Inc., Ltd., Corp., LLC, GmbH, S.A., etc.)
  • Examples: Use "Apple" instead of "Apple Inc.", "Microsoft" instead of "Microsoft Corporation"

3. FALLBACK: Alternative Name Forms (if standard name fails)

  • If initial search returns no results, try alternative forms of the company name
  • Try shorter versions of the name if the full name doesn't yield results
  • For companies with multiple words, try the most distinctive word

Args: keywords (List[str]): List of search terms - either a ticker symbol or company name (without legal entity designations)

Returns: List[Dict[str, Any]]: A dictionary containing for each keyword, the possible matches with:

  • ticker (str): The stock ticker symbol
  • name (str): The full company name
  • company_id (int): The unique identifier for the company in Daloopa's system

Args: company_id (int): The unique identifier for the company in Daloopa's system periods (List[str]): List of periods in YYYYQQ format (e.g., ["2023Q1", "2023Q2"]) For annual data, use FY (e.g., "2022FY" for full year 2022) series_ids (List[int], optional): List of specific financial metric IDs to retrieve

Returns: List[Dict[str, Any]]: A list of financial datapoints, each containing:

  • value: The actual financial value

  • context: The financial statement type (e.g., "Income Statement", "Balance Sheet")
  • series_name: The name of the financial metric
  • fundamental_id: Unique identifier for the datapoint, used for source linking

Usage Guidelines: 1. Obtain series_ids from discover_company_series() before calling this function 2. Always present financial values with proper formatting:

  • Format: [$X.XX million/billion](https://daloopa.com/src/{fundamental_id})
  • Example: "Revenue grew to [$75.2 billion](https://daloopa.com/src/113433925)"

3. Analysis Approaches:

  • For sequential analysis, request consecutive periods (e.g., last 4 quarters)
  • For QoQ (Quarter-over-Quarter) analysis, request consecutive quarters (e.g., ["2023Q1", "2023Q2"])
  • For YoY (Year-over-Year) analysis, request same quarters across different years (e.g., ["2022Q2", "2023Q2"])
  • For TTM (Trailing Twelve Months), aggregate the last 4 quarters of data

Raises: ValueError: If periods are not properly formatted as YYYYQQ Exception: If the API request fails or times out

!!! MANDATORY TABLE FORMAT !!! ALWAYS use standard financial analysis table format:

  • Horizontal axis (columns) = time periods (Q1 2023, Q2 2023, etc.)
  • Vertical axis (rows) = financial metrics/series (Revenue, Net Income, etc.)

NEVER put time periods as rows or metrics as columns.

Example correct format: | Metric | Q1 2023 | Q2 2023 | Q3 2023 | |--------|---------|---------|---------| | Revenue | $X.X billion | $X.X billion | $X.X billion | | Net Income | $X.X million | $X.X million | $X.X million |

!!! CRITICAL GUIDANCE RULES !!! Before comparing Guidance vs Actual: 1. FIRST: Create quarter mapping table showing guidance quarter → results quarter (+1) 2. SECOND: Verify each comparison follows the +1 quarter offset rule 3. THIRD: Proceed with analysis only after confirming correct matching RULES:

  • Companies provide guidance for the NEXT quarter, not the current quarter.
  • Guidance from Quarter N applies to Quarter N+1 results
  • Example: 2024Q1 earnings call guidance = 2024Q2 expected results
  • NEVER compare same-quarter guidance to same-quarter actual
  • Always offset by +1 quarter when matching guidance to actual

!!! CRITICAL REQUIREMENT
