Our research and registers, as data
Everything Hawk Thorne publishes is available programmatically: the desk research, the live risk registers, and the calibrated track record. The pages give you the read. The Insights API gives you the data beneath it, structured and dated, to run inside your own systems.
One key, the whole desk
One key opens the whole desk: the registers the portal runs, plus the layers it never prints. All of it dated, structured and signed with its source.
Not the website in JSON
The site shows a single, curated read: one number, one verdict, by design. The API returns what sits underneath — the full series, the explicit history windows, and the registers the pages never publish.
What you would scrape is the conclusion. What you license is the evidence.
One call to /briefing returns the morning in a single envelope: where the committee sits against market pricing, and where the crowd is most stretched.

}What the API returns
Fourteen data calls, one key. The “elsewhere” column says plainly what the free portal does not carry — the site publishes one curated reading, not the series beneath it.
Built to be relied on
Read-only and server-to-server, behind a private key. Every response carries a freshness stamp and an attribution envelope, so provenance travels with the data. The contract is frozen and additive: fields are only added, never moved, so what you integrate today keeps working tomorrow.
Cleared to publish
The material is interpretation, not a recommendation. It carries no directional call and is built to be cited and republished. Observation-only and end-of-day, never a real-time claim.
Request access
Access is arranged privately, and there is no self-serve key. Tell us where the data will live and how you mean to use it, and we will reply with an offer.
Common questions
Where do I get COT positioning data with real history?
The Insights API returns CFTC positioning percentiles from January 1986 across 1,204 contracts: net position as a share of open interest, COT indices at 52 and 156 weeks, percentile ranks and z-scores. Descriptive readings, never a directional signal.
Can I get Warsaw and US short selling in one place?
Yes. /short-interest combines the Polish KNF register of disclosed net short positions of 0.5% or more in GPW issuers with US FINRA short interest and SEC fails-to-deliver. One domain, both markets.
Does Hawk Thorne offer an API?
Yes. The Insights API delivers Hawk Thorne research and its live risk registers as structured data, for partners to run in their own systems. Access is arranged privately.
What data does the Insights API provide?
Everything that powers the desk, as structured data. The central-bank rhetoric monitor and the Gap it measures between what policymakers say and what the market prices. Positioning percentiles set against decades of history, so crowding shows before it unwinds. The full volatility term structure with VVIX and SKEW. Short interest across Warsaw and the US, insider and fails-to-deliver flows, and the week ahead. And the dated, Brier-calibrated track record, so the signal you build on is one whose accuracy you can audit before you commit to it. Several of these registers are served nowhere else, and the API returns the full histories beneath them, not the single number a page prints. It is the reading a terminal will not assemble for you, in a form you run inside your own systems.
How is the Insights API different from the website?
The site shows a single, curated read. The API returns the data beneath it: full histories, and registers the pages never print. What you would scrape is the conclusion; what you license is the evidence.
How do I get access to the Insights API?
Access is by private arrangement, with no self-serve key. Write to contact@hawkthorne.com with your platform and intended use, and Hawk Thorne replies with an offer.
