  description: 'Point-in-time, survivorship-aware datasets for US equities and options research. Every response is JSON: {"count": N, "data": [...]} (paginated endpoints add has_more and next_cursor). Dates are always YYYY-MM-DD. Access: every dataset requires an Alphanume Pro API key (the Free plan is retired as of September 6, 2026). A 403 error with code PRO_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED or DATE_RANGE_RESTRICTED means the key''s plan does not cover the request -- it does not mean the data is missing. Authentication: send your API key in the X-API-Key header (or Authorization: Bearer). Rate limit: 600 requests/minute. Keys come with a Pro subscription at https://alphanume.com/pricing. The same datasets are available as MCP tools at https://mcp.alphanume.com/mcp.'

      description: 'Dividend-capture calendar and scorecard: answers "which ex-dividend events are

        coming up, and how has capturing this name''s dividend actually worked?" One row per

        ex-dividend event: the full schedule (declaration/record/pay dates, cash amount,

        frequency, type, annualized dividend, capture yield), the ex-day price action

        (cum-day close, ex open/close, price drop and drop ratio at open and close, net

        capture %), and the recovery record (breakeven price, recovery status/date, days to

        recover, recovered-within 1/3/5/10/20-day flags). A drop ratio well below 1 means

        the stock historically falls less than the dividend -- the raw material of a capture

        strategy.


        Set upcoming=true for the forward ex-div calendar (default 7 days out, up to 120 via

        future_days); use `ticker` for one name''s full capture history.


        Requires an Alphanume Pro API key. A 403 PRO_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED or

        DATE_RANGE_RESTRICTED error means the key''s plan does not cover the request --

        it does not mean the data is missing.'
