# How to connect Nasdaq to OpenClaw (paste one key, 7 tools) > Connect Nasdaq to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Nasdaq key once and 7 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/nasdaq The usual route to Nasdaq access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Nasdaq setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Nasdaq in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Nasdaq actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Nasdaq. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Nasdaq** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:** > I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink. > Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin` > When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect nasdaq # connect Nasdaq (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions nasdaq # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run nasdaq --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Nasdaq in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Nasdaq API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Nasdaq, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Nasdaq is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 7 Nasdaq tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Nasdaq to OpenClaw and exposes 7 Nasdaq tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes Nasdaq integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/nasdaq) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Nasdaq integration can do 7 Nasdaq tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 7 Nasdaq tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get analyst ratings** `nasdaq_get_analyst_ratings` | Retrieves comprehensive analyst ratings and target price data for a stock symbol from Zacks | | **Get datatable** `nasdaq_get_datatable` | Request a bulk export of a NASDAQ Data Link datatable | | **Get datatable metadata** `nasdaq_get_datatable_metadata` | Retrieve metadata for a NASDAQ Data Link datatable | | **Get dividend history** `nasdaq_get_dividend_history` | Retrieves quarterly dividend-related fundamentals for a specific stock ticker from SHARADAR SF1 | | **Get real time quote** `nasdaq_get_real_time_quote` | Retrieves end-of-day historical stock price data for a specific ticker symbol from the | | **Get table row** `nasdaq_get_table_row` | Retrieves rows from a NASDAQ Data Link datatable by filtering on a specified column and value | | **Get tables by date** `nasdaq_get_tables_by_date` | Retrieves Nasdaq Data Link datatables (databases) that were last updated on a specific date | ## Example prompts **Get Analyst Ratings** > Pull the relevant data from Nasdaq, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Datatable** > Pull the relevant data from Nasdaq, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Datatable Metadata** > Pull the relevant data from Nasdaq, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Dividend History** > Pull the relevant data from Nasdaq, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Nasdaq working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Nasdaq API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Nasdaq account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Nasdaq. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Nasdaq actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 7 tools for Nasdaq are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Nasdaq to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Nasdaq in the browser, and the 7 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Nasdaq key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Nasdaq is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Nasdaq from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Nasdaq tools Nasdaq tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Nasdaq call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Nasdaq returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Nasdaq has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Nasdaq integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Nasdaq: link your Nasdaq account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Nasdaq API through 7 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Nasdaq to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Nasdaq skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Nasdaq. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Nasdaq key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Nasdaq to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Nasdaq in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Nasdaq up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Nasdaq working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Nasdaq skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Nasdaq, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
