Non-SEC Chinese biotech deals and HK/STAR IPO financing — licensing agreements and IPOs with no US-listed party, read straight out of the HKEX and CNINFO exchange disclosure feeds. Keyless.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1576+ live data sources.

Tools

licensing and collaboration deals disclosed by HKEX-listed companies, including deals with no US-listed party at all (e.g. a Chinese HKEX-listed biotech out-licensing to an Indian, Japanese, or European partner). Sourced from HKEXnews filings titled "License Agreement" or "Licensing Agreement".

• hkexlicensingdeals(query?, since?, until?, limit?) — biotech/pharma

financing filings — the "GLOBAL OFFERING" prospectus and formal notice every company files with HKEX when it lists. Not biotech-specific; filter with query.

• hkexipofilings(query?, since?, until?, limit?) — Hong Kong IPO / listing

search over CNINFO, the official disclosure feed for both Chinese A-share exchanges (Shenzhen + Shanghai, STAR Market included). Covers A-share-listed companies with zero HK/US nexus — the other half of the gap.

• cninfodisclosuresearch(query, board?, since?, until?, limit?) — full-text

Why this exists, and why china-pharma / pharma-deals don't already cover it

chinalicensingdeals (china-pharma) and pharmalicensingdeals (pharma-deals) are both SEC 8-K based: they see a deal only if at least one party is US-listed. A China-to-China or China-to-Japan deal between two companies with no US listing is real, disclosed, and structurally invisible to either tool. Demand log, 2026-09-13 scouting pass: 3+ real asks for exactly that class of deal, plus HK/STAR biotech IPO financing.

Two more exchanges' own disclosure layers close the gap, both probed live 2026-09-13:

its own IPO under HKEX listing rules the same day, and HKEXnews' public title-search JSON endpoint (titleSearchServlet.do) serves those filings without a key. This is the same endpoint nmpadrugapprovals (china-pharma) already uses for NMPA approvals — same trick, different title term.

• HKEX — any Hong Kong-listed company discloses a material licensing deal or

A-shares, STAR Market included. hisAnnouncement/query is a POST endpoint, no auth, plain browser UA — verified live returning 20,703 matches for searchkey=许可 (license/licence), dated as recent as the day of the probe.

• CNINFO (cninfo.com.cn) — the official disclosure feed for SZSE + SSE

Traps

searchType=1 and title is set — verified across three different date windows (a 9-month range, a 1-month range, and a single day in 1990) on three different title terms ("License Agreement", "Licensing Agreement", "Global Offering"): identical result set every time. It is a rolling most-recent-titles window, not a date-filtered query. Both HKEX tools fetch the unbounded window and apply since/until themselves, client-side — a window before the reachable range returns found: false with an explicit hint naming the actual reachable dates, never a silently-empty "nothing that period".

• HKEX titleSearchServlet.do ignores from/to entirely when

An initial probe of category=/plate=kcb for STAR Market returned HTTP 200 with the full unfiltered result set — a silent no-op, not an error. The real parameter, plate=shkcp, was found by watching the disclosure search page's OWN network request when its 科创板 (STAR Market) checkbox is selected in the browser — the same recipe china-exchange-data used for SZSE's report catalogs. Verified as a REAL filter, not another no-op: unfiltered searchkey=许可 returns totalAnnouncement: 20703; plate=shkcp returns 306, every one of them a 688xxx (STAR Market) code.

• CNINFO's board/segment filter looks like it should be guessable and isn't.
