About DataSinking
DataSinking provides structured, searchable financial reports for listed companies across China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Reports are delivered as clean Markdown through a simple REST API, preserving headings, paragraphs, tables and units. Every document is sourced from official regulatory disclosure platforms in the respective markets. The service covers annual, semi-annual and quarterly reports, including amendments and supplements, with historical data reaching back to 2001 for mainland China, 2015 for Japan and Korea, and 2006 for Taiwan. Users can query by ticker symbol, retrieve full-text reports or specific sections, and integrate the API directly into existing workflows. A Model Context Protocol server is also available for AI agents, enabling natural-language queries without additional client code. The API returns documents prefixed with YAML frontmatter containing metadata such as stock code, company name and report period.
