FAQ

Is Worldview a real product?

Yes. It is a fully working terminal — 10 production microservices, a Next.js frontend, and live data integrations — built as a university final thesis demonstrating modern microservice architecture and AI integration. You can sign up free and use it today.

What data sources do you use?

• EODHD — end-of-day and intraday equities, ETFs, and fundamentals
• Finnhub — real-time quotes, news, and earnings calendar
• SEC EDGAR — regulatory filings (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, Form 4)
• Polymarket — prediction market probabilities
• SnapTrade / TastyTrade — read-only brokerage sync

How current is the price data?

During US market hours (09:30–16:00 ET), prices update every 60 seconds from EODHD intraday data. Live quotes in instrument headers update every 1–2 seconds using Finnhub's WebSocket feed (with a 15-second delay for the free plan). This is sufficient for research and monitoring — not for trading execution.

Is my brokerage account safe to connect?

Yes. Worldview uses SnapTrade as the brokerage connection layer. The OAuth token is scoped to read-only access — Worldview cannot place trades, transfer funds, or modify your brokerage account. Your brokerage credentials are never transmitted to or stored by Worldview.

What is the morning brief and when does it generate?

The morning brief is an AI-generated daily digest that runs at 06:00 ET each trading day. It covers the market tone, top news themes, watchlist-specific commentary, and key economic events. It uses DeepSeek R1 Distill 32B via DeepInfra and caches the result for the rest of the day.

Can I access Worldview via API?

Yes. The S9 API Gateway exposes 55+ documented REST endpoints. See the API Reference for the full documentation. All endpoints require a JWT from Zitadel OIDC or the dev-login endpoint for local testing.

What are the pricing tiers?

• Free — 1 watchlist (25 instruments), 5 alert rules, 60 API requests/min
• Pro — unlimited watchlists and alerts, 600 API requests/min, real-time quote streaming
• Enterprise — everything in Pro plus custom rate limits, SSO/SAML, SLA, and dedicated support

Can I host Worldview myself?

The codebase is a monorepo with Docker Compose for local development. Self-hosting requires configuring Zitadel, Kafka, 5 Postgres databases, and the EODHD/Finnhub API keys. See the repository README for setup instructions.

How do I report a bug?

Use the floating feedback button (bottom-right of any authenticated page) to open the bug report flow. Include steps to reproduce, the URL, and any error messages. Public roadmap and feature voting at /feedback.

Why do some instruments show "—" instead of a value?

A dash ("—") means the data is unavailable or not applicable, not that the value is zero. Common causes: newly-listed company with no earnings history, ETF where an income statement metric is not applicable, or a data gap between EODHD update cycles. If you believe data is incorrectly missing, use the feedback button to report it.
