devdigest · x · 2026-11-06
Firecrawl launched Alexandria, a layer that gives AI agents direct access to licensed, official data providers — announced alongside its $75M Series B. The first major integration is Benzinga, bringing real-time financial data to agents: market-moving headlines, why-is-it-moving notes, press releases, analyst ratings changes and consensus, announced deals, and unusual options activity.
Alexandria ships 8 ready-made Benzinga skills and 11 capabilities, callable via API (JavaScript/Python/cURL examples provided). A showcase use case: short-seller report triage — break a short report into checkable claims, score each against SEC EDGAR filings, insider trades and federal dockets, and produce questions to put to management.
