 "body_text": "About\n\nBuilt out of necessity, sold out of conviction\n\nStockQL started the way most durable tools do: as infrastructure its builders needed and couldn't buy.\n\nWe wanted what every systematic researcher wants \u2014 a long-horizon, worldwide, survivorship-bias-free equities database we could query without limits. The vendors sell pieces of that: an API here, a bulk file there, each with its own quiet failure modes. Nobody sells the finished thing: a coherent database on your own machine.\n\nSo we built it, and we've run it in production ever since \u2014 daily ingests across 72 exchange calendars, tens of thousands of symbols, with an accumulating suite of validators written each time a feed surprised us. The partial bulk snapshot that looks complete. The exchange whose vendor metadata names the wrong country. The delisted symbol that wasn't. Each one cost us a debugging session so it doesn't have to cost you one.\n\nStockQL is that system, packaged. We keep running the same code on our own research database every day \u2014 which means when a provider changes something, we notice before you do.\n\nQuestions, skepticism, edge cases we haven't thought of: hello@stockql.ai ."
