# How to connect Twelve Data to OpenClaw (paste one key, 97 tools) > Connect Twelve Data to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Twelve Data key once and 97 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/twelve-data The usual route to Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Twelve Data in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Twelve Data actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. **Start here:** install the ClawLink plugin (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`), pair it in the browser, then connect the app in the ClawLink dashboard. The interactive install prompt is on the web version of this page: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/twelve-data ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Twelve Data. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Twelve Data** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **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 twelve-data # connect Twelve Data (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions twelve-data # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run twelve-data --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 Twelve Data in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Twelve Data API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Twelve Data to cash flow and walk me through the result in plain English. ### 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 Twelve Data is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 97 Twelve Data tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Twelve Data to OpenClaw and exposes 97 Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/twelve-data) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Twelve Data integration can do 97 Twelve Data tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 97. ### 30 of 97 Twelve Data tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Cash flow** `twelve_data_cash_flow` | Get company cash flow statement | | **Cash flow consolidated** `twelve_data_cash_flow_consolidated` | Get raw consolidated cash flow statements | | **Commodities list** `twelve_data_commodities_list` | Retrieve a list of supported commodities | | **Correl** `twelve_data_correl` | Fetch Pearson correlation coefficient between two series over a period | | **Countries list** `twelve_data_countries_list` | Retrieve a list of countries with ISO codes, names, capitals, and currencies | | **Cross listings** `twelve_data_cross_listings` | Retrieve cross-listed symbols for a security across multiple exchanges | | **Cryptocurrencies** `twelve_data_cryptocurrencies` | List all supported cryptocurrencies | | **Cryptocurrency exchanges list get** `twelve_data_cryptocurrency_exchanges_list_get` | List supported cryptocurrency exchanges | | **Currency conversion** `twelve_data_currency_conversion` | Convert an amount from one currency to another | | **Dividends** `twelve_data_dividends` | Retrieve dividend payout history for a specified symbol | | **Earnings** `twelve_data_earnings` | Retrieve earnings data including EPS estimates and actuals | | **Eps revisions** `twelve_data_eps_revisions` | Provide analysts’ revisions of a company’s future EPS over the last week and month | | **Eps trend action** `twelve_data_eps_trend_action` | Retrieve EPS trend estimates for a specified company | | **Etfs directory** `twelve_data_etfs_directory` | Fetch a daily updated list of exchange-traded funds sorted by total assets | | **Etfs family** `twelve_data_etfs_family` | Fetch a comprehensive list of ETFs by family | | **Etfs type** `twelve_data_etfs_type` | Retrieve ETF categories by market, including types like 'Equity Precious Metals' | | **Etfs world** `twelve_data_etfs_world` | Fetch comprehensive ETF analytics (summary, performance, risk, composition) | | **Etfs world composition** `twelve_data_etfs_world_composition` | Fetch global ETF composition details including sector, country, asset allocations, top | | **Etfs world risk** `twelve_data_etfs_world_risk` | Get global ETF risk metrics | | **Exchanges** `twelve_data_exchanges` | Retrieve a list of supported exchanges | | **Forex pairs** `twelve_data_forex_pairs` | Retrieve a list of all supported forex currency pairs | | **Get ad** `twelve_data_get_ad` | Retrieve Accumulation/Distribution (AD) indicator data for a financial instrument | | **Get API usage** `twelve_data_get_api_usage` | Retrieve your current plan and remaining API credits | | **Get apo** `twelve_data_get_apo` | Calculate the Absolute Price Oscillator (APO) for a financial instrument | | **Get aroon** `twelve_data_get_aroon` | Retrieve Aroon Indicator data for identifying market trends | | **Get balance sheet** `twelve_data_get_balance_sheet` | Retrieve a company's balance sheet (assets, liabilities, equity) | | **Get balance sheet consolidated** `twelve_data_get_balance_sheet_consolidated` | Get raw consolidated balance sheet data (assets, liabilities, equity) for a company | | **Get bbands** `twelve_data_get_bbands` | Calculate Bollinger Bands (BBANDS) for a financial instrument | | **Get bonds** `twelve_data_get_bonds` | Retrieve a daily updated list of available bonds (fixed income securities) | | **Get cci** `twelve_data_get_cci` | Retrieve Commodity Channel Index (CCI) values for a specified security | ## Example prompts **Cash Flow** > Use Twelve Data to cash flow and walk me through the result in plain English. **Cash Flow Consolidated** > Use Twelve Data to cash flow consolidated and walk me through the result in plain English. **Commodities List** > Use Twelve Data to commodities list and walk me through the result in plain English. **Correl** > Use Twelve Data to correl and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Twelve Data working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Twelve Data API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data. | 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 Twelve Data actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 97 tools for Twelve Data are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data in the browser, and the 97 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Twelve Data key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the Twelve Data skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Twelve Data, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data tools Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data 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. ### Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Twelve Data integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Twelve Data: link your Twelve Data account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Twelve Data API through 97 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Twelve Data to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Twelve Data skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Twelve Data. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Twelve Data key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Twelve Data to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Twelve Data in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Twelve Data 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 Twelve Data working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Twelve Data skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Twelve Data, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Twelve Data is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
