# FINTER Library

## Introduction

The FINTER Library section serves as the primary core of this documentation. It provides a comprehensive overview of all functions, classes, and available datasets within the FINTER ecosystem. From retrieving fundamental corporate information to building and validating fully functional alpha models, this section guides users through every stage of quantitative research and model development.

Here, users can learn how to access and manipulate data using components such as IdTable and the Content Model, perform backtesting, and ultimately submit their custom models to the FINTER system. This section offers true end-to-end coverage, enabling users to gain both practical skills and conceptual understanding necessary for real-world model creation and deployment.

### Components

**IdTable** Stock identifier management. Query stock IDs, manage universes, and map ticker symbols across different markets (Korea, US, Vietnam, Indonesia).

**Content Model (CM)** The central data interface for Finter. Provides functions and classes for loading, preprocessing, and transforming datasets to build Alpha models. Covers supported universes, dataset categories, core data-access methods (get, filter, align), and commonly used items in real model submissions.

**Datasets** Complete catalog of all available Content Model data. Browse and discover datasets by category, provider (fnguide, spglobal), and country. Use this to find exact data names and specifications.

**Backtest & Submit Module** Strategy validation and deployment. Run historical backtests on your Alpha/Portfolio models and submit validated models to the Finter system for live execution.

**Extra Tools** Utility functions and helper methods. Date handling, data transformation, visualization tools, and other convenience functions for quantitative research.
