Introducing the Polaris CLI — Financial Intelligence From Your Terminal
12 commands. 891 tickers. JSON-first for agents, human-readable when you need it.
Today we're shipping @polaris-news/cli — a command-line interface that gives AI agents (and humans) instant access to the entire Polaris intelligence layer from the terminal.
npm install -g @polaris-news/cli export POLARIS_API_KEY=pr_live_xxx polaris ask "What's happening with NVDA?"
Why a CLI?
AI agents live in terminals. Claude Code, Codex, coding agents, trading bots — they all run in shell environments. The CLI gives them native access to financial intelligence without SDKs, imports, or HTTP libraries. One command, structured JSON back.

Agent-First Output
JSON by default — agents parse it directly. Add --human for formatted output when you're the one reading.
# Agent gets structured JSON polaris signal MSFT # Human gets formatted output polaris signal MSFT --human # → MSFT Trade Signal: LEAN_BUY (56/100) # - RSI deeply oversold (23) — bounce potential # - Sentiment bearish # - Technical signal: buy # - Price well below SMA 20
The NLP Screener Is the Standout
Type what you're looking for in plain English. The CLI parses it into structured filters.
polaris screen "low RSI semiconductors" --human # → Screening: Semiconductors + RSI < 40 # → 8 matches: # SNPS Synopsys $386 RSI: 33.1 Signal: sell # QCOM Qualcomm $128 RSI: 34.7 Signal: sell # NVDA Nvidia $169 RSI: 37.0 Signal: sell # ...
Trade Signal — New
Every single-ticker query now returns a composite trade readiness score (0-100) combining RSI, sentiment, technical signals, SMA trend, VIX level, and earnings proximity. One number that tells an agent whether conditions are favorable.
polaris signal MSFT --human # → LEAN_BUY (56/100) # → RSI deeply oversold at 23 — bounce potential # → Sentiment bearish # → Technical signal: buy # → Price well below SMA 20
How It Compares
Other CLIs give agents generic web search results. Polaris gives agents 891 tickers, 20 technical indicators, insider trades, earnings estimates, sentiment signals, and a trade readiness score — all structured, all from real data sources, not scraped web pages.
