About

A terminal built on the primary record

SingularityView is an independent student-built financial data and research platform. It aggregates publicly available data from third-party sources for educational and research purposes. It does not provide investment advice, financial recommendations, brokerage services, portfolio management, or trading services.

Singularity Terminal is a self-hosted research terminal. It reads filings, rates, market history, federal spending, clinical registries, weather, flight tracks, housing panels and public chatter — and it reads them from the primary publisher, directly, without a vendor in between.

The design constraint that shaped everything else is that no figure may appear on screen unless it can be traced to a real response. There is no demo mode, no sample dataset and no placeholder series anywhere in the product. When a source cannot be reached, the screen names the source and says what would be required to fix it. An honest empty state is treated as a feature, not a failure.

It is built as a FastAPI server and vanilla ES modules — no build step, no bundler, no framework. Fonts are self-hosted, so the interface renders correctly with no network access at all.

Every data source, and the module that queries it

All 36 upstreams below are queried without a credential. Each card names the file in this repository that issues the request, so any claim on this page can be checked against the code rather than taken on trust.

Optional credentials

The server starts and every screen renders with none of these set. Each one widens coverage; none is required. Settings shows which are configured on this machine — as a boolean, never as a value.

Variable	What it unlocks	Behaviour without it
FMP_API_KEY	Financial Modeling Prep consensus estimates on the economic calendar.	The calendar falls back to model-implied estimates and labels them as such. read by app/services/phase6.py
SINGULARITY_FRED_API_KEY	The official FRED JSON API instead of the public CSV endpoints.	Macro series still load over CSV; some series are unavailable. read by app/services/macro_rates.py
FINNHUB_API_KEY	Finnhub as an additional company-news source.	The news hub runs on its remaining sources. read by app/services/news.py
REDDIT_CLIENT_ID	Reddit OAuth. Reddit's anonymous JSON endpoints now answer 403.	Reddit-derived chatter screens report the missing credential. read by app/services/news.py
X_BEARER_TOKEN	X/Twitter posts in the social feed.	The X source reports 'disabled — requires a paid Basic tier or above'. read by app/services/news.py
GOVINFO_API_KEY	GovInfo as a source in business-intelligence research.	That source is skipped and the reason is shown. read by app/services/phase8.py
REGULATIONS_GOV_API_KEY	Regulations.gov dockets in business-intelligence research.	That source is skipped and the reason is shown. read by app/services/phase8.py
PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY	The PatentsView search API behind the patent complexity scorer.	The screen states which credential it requires. read by backend/patent_scorer.py
AIS_API_KEY	Worldwide AIS vessel positions on the global map.	The vessel layer is not drawn and reports 'missing credential'. read by app/services/geo.py
SINGULARITY_SMTP_HOST	Email delivery for alerts. Pairs with SINGULARITY_SMTP_FROM.	Alerts still fire in-page, as desktop notifications and as sound. read by app/services/notifications.py
SINGULARITY_SMTP_FROM	The sender address on alert email.	Email delivery stays off; the alerts panel says so. read by app/services/notifications.py

Set a variable in the server's environment and restart. There is no way to set one from the browser, by design.

Who builds this

Read from this server's own configuration, like every other figure on the site.

This install has not listed anybody. That is deliberately blank rather than filled with plausible names: a team page is the easiest thing on a website to invent and the least likely to be checked, and this product's whole argument is that it does not invent.

An operator sets SINGULARITY_TEAM as a semicolon-separated list of Name | Role pairs and the people appear here.

Honest limitations

The things this product cannot do, stated here rather than discovered later.

Prices are delayed and interval-based

Quotes and history come from Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint. It is not a consolidated tape, it carries no bid/ask depth, and the last bar can lag the market by minutes. Use it to research; do not use it to price a trade. There is no order routing in this product.

Some screens are waiting on data, and say so

Of the 38 screens reachable from the sidebar, 9 currently render a readiness state instead of analytics, because their upstream either needs a credential nobody has or has no free tier. They are marked in the navigation before you click them. None of them fills the gap with an invented number.

Publishers enforce rate limits

SEC EDGAR enforces a fair-access rate limit, OpenSky limits anonymous polling, and GitHub caps unauthenticated requests. When a fetch is refused the server replays the last successful response with a visible staleness stamp and the reason, or it fails outright. It never substitutes a different source silently.

Entity resolution can decline to answer

Matching an issuer to a federal contract, a clinical trial or a job posting is a judgement call. The matcher is deliberately strict — it once accepted 'Appleton Marine' as Apple Inc. A false reject shows an honest 'no match'; a false accept would put another company's data under your ticker. It is tuned to prefer the former.

It has not been audited, and it is not advice

This is research software. No figure here has been reviewed by a licensed professional, and nothing on any screen is a recommendation. What it does give you that a vendor terminal will not is the provenance: every number carries the source it was read from, so you can verify it yourself before you rely on it.

Where your data lives

Your account, watchlist, alert rules and preferences are held on our own infrastructure and are never sold, brokered or shared with an advertising network. The terminal carries no third-party analytics. What leaves the platform are outbound requests to the primary sources named above — nothing else.
