About
Data on companies themselves is well served. Statements, prices and estimates are standardized, keyed to identifiers and sold by many vendors, because regulators made companies file in a common form and the best-funded desks in finance paid for it.
The world around a company has no such vendor. The governments that regulate it, the central banks that set its cost of money, the people who run it and govern it, the ports and sea lanes its goods move through, the agreements and conflicts between the countries it sells into: each lives on its own website, in its own format and its own language, often with no history kept. An analyst carried that context in their head.
An agent can't. When it reaches for the world around a company it gets a web search: fragments, undated and unsourced. The model isn't the limit; the data is. We build that data, and the tools to use it. More on why.
Astreus AI is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The product is early: some datasets are broad and others are deliberately narrow while they are reviewed, and we would rather say that plainly than round it up. The order of work is driven by what users ask for, so a request for a dataset your agents can't find genuinely changes what we build next.
If you're using it seriously, we want to hear from you. Get in touch or email saif@astreus.ai.
Astreus is a data and research product. It does not give investment advice, does not recommend buying or selling anything, and is not a registered dealer or adviser in Canada or any other jurisdiction. It shows the evidence and where it came from; the decision stays yours. See Disclosures.
US filings are pulled from the SEC's EDGAR, parsed into their inline-XBRL facts and validated company by company before anything is served.
Non-US issuers come from their home regulator through the same parser and the same gates. Korean companies are read from the Financial Supervisory Service's Open DART (opendart.fss.or.kr): the periodic reports' K-IFRS XBRL instances for the statements and the largest-shareholder table for ownership, in won as filed. Raw DART payloads are held privately under the Open DART terms of use; what is served is the standardized aggregate with each figure cited back to its report number (접수번호). Under those terms the content of a disclosure is the filer's responsibility, not the FSS's: we serve it as filed and hold what fails our gates rather than correcting it. Japanese companies are read from the Financial Services Agency's EDINET through its API (api.edinet-fsa.go.jp): the 有価証券報告書 (annual securities report), 半期報告書 (semi-annual report) and, for fiscal periods before the 2024 abolition, 四半期報告書 (quarterly report) XBRL instances, in yen as filed, under the accounting standard each filer elects (Japanese GAAP, or IFRS as designated by the FSA) and consolidated only — the parent-only 単体 statements the same submission carries are never served. Q1 and Q3 after the abolition exist only as TDnet 決算短信 (JPX), a different portal whose terms do not permit automated collection without JPX's permission; a request is on its way and until it is answered the half-year view is the honest cadence for those years. 出典:EDINET 閲覧(提出)サイト(https://disclosure2.edinet-fsa.go.jp/)、PDL1.0 (Public Data License v1.0). The figures served are processed data — EDINET閲覧サイトをもとにAstreus作成 (prepared by Astreus from the EDINET disclosure site), not the FSA's unprocessed original — each cited to its document number (docID); raw packages are held privately and the EDINET taxonomy, which is outside PDL1.0, is never redistributed. The standard labels shown beside Japanese line items (売上高 / Net sales …) are quoted verbatim from the EDINET Taxonomy published by the Financial Services Agency, never altered or translated by us, under the FSA's “EDINET Taxonomy Legal Statement” (you may quote or reproduce the whole or a part of the EDINET Taxonomy only if you combine the Statement and indicate its origin; the Taxonomy is provided as is, without warranty, and may not be altered, modified or translated without the prior consent of JFSA) — © Copyright 2014 Financial Services Agency, The Japanese Government. UAE companies are read from the Dubai Financial Market's published disclosures on the same basis. Taiwanese issuers' monthly revenue, statement summaries and insider holdings come from the exchanges' open-data APIs — 提供機關/金融監督管理委員會證券期貨局 [2026] 上市公司每月營業收入彙總表 · 上櫃公司每月營業收入彙總表 · 上市公司綜合損益表 · 上市公司資產負債表 · 上櫃公司綜合損益表 · 上櫃公司資產負債表 (一般業) · 上市公司董事、監察人、經理人及大股東持股餘額彙總表 · 上櫃公司董事、監察人、經理人及大股東持股餘額彙總表; 此開放資料依政府資料開放授權條款 (Open Government Data License) 進行公眾釋出,使用者於遵守本條款各項規定之前提下,得利用之 (https://data.gov.tw/license) — in New Taiwan dollars as filed, converted from the filed thousands, with the filer's own note attached. Insiders for these issuers are that monthly balance — directors, supervisors, managers and shareholders above 10% as declared under the Securities and Exchange Act (art. 25), one month in arrears; Taiwan has no 13F analog and the full shareholder register is not open data, so the only institutional holders shown are US 13F filers that report the security. Their quarterly and annual statements, where served, are the filers' own XBRL financial reports (the 合併 consolidated edition only) distributed through the Taiwan Stock Exchange's Market Observation Post System, obtained under TWSE's written consent for programmatic access (TWSE/MOPS/2026/0942) rather than crawled; raw packages are held privately under TWSE's Terms of Use and only the standardized aggregate is served, each figure cited to its report period, the latest quarter reconciled line by line against the FSC's open-data statement summary and the three filed months of every quarter against the quarter's statement revenue. Those statements are prepared under Taiwan-IFRS (IFRSs as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission); where the same filer also reports to the SEC under IFRS as issued by the IASB (TSMC, UMC, ASE), each basis is served separately under an accounting-basis toggle and never mixed — revenue and operating cash flow agree between the two, profit, assets and equity legitimately differ. Chinese and Hong Kong issuers are read from 巨潮资讯网 (CNINFO, cninfo.com.cn), the China Securities Regulatory Commission's designated statutory disclosure website: the filers' own periodic reports as published there (for Hong Kong listings, the Chinese-language edition of the HKEX announcement that CNINFO carries), which exist only as PDF — no machine-readable XBRL is published for these issuers. CNINFO's posted terms place no restriction on automated access or on the use of the disclosed figures; Shenzhen Securities Information Co. has been notified of this use in writing. We do not access HKEXnews, sse.com.cn or szse.cn, whose terms restrict programmatic access and commercial redistribution. Statements are consolidated only (parent-only 母公司 statements are never served), in the standard and currency the filer uses — Chinese Accounting Standards in yuan for A-shares, IFRS/HKFRS in the reporting currency for Hong Kong listings — with the statement's own arithmetic certifying every extraction and CNINFO's published financial summaries as the cross-check. Source documents are not redistributed; every figure cites its report and page. European issuers are read from their ESEF annual financial reports — the Inline XBRL report packages issuers publish as regulated information under the Transparency Directive (Art. 4) and the ESEF Regulation (EU) 2019/815, and UKSEF packages under the FCA's DTR 4.1 — obtained from XBRL International's repository filings.xbrl.org, which mirrors the national Officially Appointed Mechanisms (AFM, AMF, 1Info, Finanstilsynet, Finansinspektionen, the Finnish OAM, OeKB, the FCA National Storage Mechanism) and states that there are no restrictions on the use of its data. The Inline XBRL report is transformed to a plain instance and parsed by the same parser and gates as every other filing, in the reporting currency and accounting standard the filer uses (IFRS as adopted by the EU / UK-adopted international accounting standards). ESEF is annual-only: half-year and quarterly statements are not structured data, so no trailing-twelve-month figure beyond the latest annual is derived for these companies. Raw packages are held privately; what is served is the standardized aggregate with each figure cited to its report. German issuers are read from their Bundesanzeiger publications — the IFRS consolidated financial statements (Konzernabschluss) every listed AG is required to publish under §325 HGB — obtained via OpenRegister (openregister.de), a commercial company-data API that sources the Bundesanzeiger daily and whose terms permit the use we make of it; the Unternehmensregister itself disallows automated retrieval and filings.xbrl.org does not carry Germany. The rendered publication is parsed in German by the same statement extractor, arithmetic gates and citation model as the other document lanes (the single-entity HGB accounts published alongside are never served), with OpenRegister's structured tables as a cross-check only. This lane is annual-only: half-year reports are not published in the Bundesanzeiger, so no trailing-twelve-month figure beyond the latest annual is derived. Source: the Bundesanzeiger publication, obtained via OpenRegister; publications are held privately and every figure cites its publication. The pre-ESEF history of these issuers comes from their own PDF financial reports held from the national storage mechanisms — the AMF's info-financiere.gouv.fr (Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0, source: DILA / AMF), the AFM register of financial reporting (source: AFM), Finansinspektionen's Börsinformation storage (source: Finansinspektionen; the issuer is responsible for the content of what it reports) and Companies House (contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0). One annual report and one half-year report per fiscal year is read — in the language it was published in (French, Dutch or English editions; pre-2005 UK accounts under UK GAAP, labelled as such and never restated) — by the same statement extractor, arithmetic gates and citation model as the Gulf issuers' PDF statements: a page serves only when its own totals foot, scanned pages are read by OCR and certified by that arithmetic, and every figure links to the document and page. Half-years appear as the second-quarter column with year-to-date flows; no first- or third-quarter statement exists for these filers and no fourth quarter is derived. Where the ESEF package already covers a year, the PDF figures are a cross-check only and are not served. Where no national channel is open to us, documents are obtained under written permission and only within its scope: Siemens AG, Siemens Energy AG and Infineon Technologies AG have permitted the retrieval of their annual and half-year financial reports from their investor-relations publications; ABB Ltd of its annual reports from the 2024 financial year; and Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH has granted a data agreement for the annual and half-year financial reports stored in the Unternehmensregister (§8b HGB). Figures from these documents are served with attribution to the issuer — Siemens AG, Siemens Energy AG, Infineon Technologies AG and ABB Ltd investor-relations publications — or, for the register's holdings, to the Unternehmensregister as the source; the documents are not redistributed, retrieval is rate-limited and identified, and each permission is recorded on the company's page.
