Getting Started

  1. Join the beta

    Sign up on the waitlist. We onboard traders in small batches. You'll receive an email with your login credentials and API key.

  2. Explore the dashboard

    Log in at app.aucalia.com to browse government events, filter by source or ticker, and view pre-computed market impact indicators.

  3. Use the API (optional)

    For programmatic access, use your API key with the REST API. Standard JSON over HTTPS — works with Python, R, JavaScript, and any HTTP client.

  4. Export data for backtesting

    Use the bulk export endpoint or the dashboard's download button to get CSV files with full event history. All tickers, all sources, all indicators.

Key Concepts

What is an "event"?

An event is any discrete government filing, enforcement action, approval, or regulatory decision that we have mapped to a publicly traded stock ticker. Examples: an SEC 8-K filing, an FDA drug approval, a WARN Act layoff notice.

What is "market impact"?

For every event, we compute what happened to the stock price afterwards: forward returns (1d, 5d, 20d), volume spike relative to the 20-day average, and VWAP deviation on the event day.

What does "survivorship-bias free" mean?

Our database includes companies that were delisted, acquired, or went bankrupt. Most data providers only show companies that still exist today, which inflates historical statistics. We don't do that.

How often is data updated?

Our pipeline runs daily, within hours of U.S. market close (4:00 PM ET). New government filings are ingested, matched to tickers, and cross-referenced with that day's price data.

Can I verify the data?

Yes. Every event includes a source_url field that links directly to the original government filing. Total transparency — no black boxes.
