  FinancialData.Net ships no web components, element library, embeddable widget or embeddable
  dashboard — there is no JavaScript loader, no script tag, no CDN bundle and no npm package of any
  kind. What it does ship in this category is an OFFICE add-in: a first-party client-side surface
  that renders the API into a host application (Excel) through a single custom function. It is
  recorded here rather than in packages/ as a code library because it is a prebuilt client surface
  a non-developer installs, not something a developer imports — though the same add-in also appears
  in packages/financialdata-net-packages.yml as a distributed artifact. There is also a hosted
  browser data viewer, but it is a first-party page on the provider's own site rather than something
  a customer embeds.

    distribution: Microsoft add-in store ("FinancialData.Net for Excel"), installed from Excel > Home > Add-ins
    hosts: [Microsoft Excel desktop, Excel on the web, Microsoft 365]
    launched: '2026-04-20'

    auth: API key saved in the add-in task pane (same key as the REST API)
    components:
      - name: FDN custom function
        signature: '=FDN(dataset, identifier, argument, maxRows)'
        description: >-
          One dynamic-array worksheet function covering the whole API. `dataset` is the PascalCase
          form of the REST endpoint (StockQuotes, IncomeStatements, IndexConstituents, OptionChain,
          CryptoPrices, ForexQuotes, KeyMetrics, EmployeeCount, InsiderTransactions, SenateTrading,
          EtfPrices, InstitutionalHoldings, ...), matching the same naming rule the MCP server uses
          for its tool names. Results spill into the sheet rather than requiring a drag-fill.
        published_examples:
          - '=FDN("StockQuotes","AAPL,MSFT,NVDA","",3)'
          - '=FDN("IncomeStatements","MSFT","year",5)'
          - '=FDN("CompanyInformation","MSFT","",1)'
          - '=FDN("IndexConstituents","^GSPC","",50)'
          - '=FDN("OptionChain","MSFT","",20)'
      - name: Formula builder task pane
        description: >-
          Visual formula construction inside the add-in task pane — pick a dataset and arguments
          rather than typing the function, with dataset browsing.
    note: >-
      A per-dataset guide page exists for each endpoint ("Get Stock Prices in Excel", "Get Option
      Greeks in Excel", ...), giving the add-in the same 86-surface coverage as the REST API.
  - name: Data Viewer
    kind: hosted-page
    url: https://financialdata.net/viewer
    description: >-
      A signed-in browser view over the datasets, linked from the primary site navigation. Not
      embeddable and not a component library — recorded for completeness because it is the third
      first-party client surface over the same API.
    embeddable: false
    note: >-
      Probed anonymously 2026-08-22: returns HTTP 200 but serves the sign-in shell (3 KB), so its
      capabilities could not be inspected without an account.
not_found:
  - web components / custom elements
  - JavaScript element or widget library (no npm package, no CDN bundle, no script tag)
  - embeddable iframe dashboards
  - hosted checkout or prebuilt UI flows
