Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your API requests will simply be denied once you hit your monthly quota — you will never be charged more than the plan you signed up for. To increase your quota, you can upgrade your plan any time on our pricing page.
  • The API responds with a standard HTTP status code and a JSON error message describing the problem. See our error codes reference for the full list of codes and how to resolve each one, or contact support if you need help.
  • Identify the company with either the ticker parameter (e.g. ADBE) or the cik parameter (e.g. 796343), and optionally set the period (q1, q2, q3, q4, or fy) together with the year. If you omit year and period, the API returns the most recent balance sheet; see the full API list for related financial endpoints.
  • It covers any public company listed in the United States, with all figures sourced from official SEC filings: Q1, Q2, and Q3 come from 10-Q filings while Q4 (fiscal year end) comes from the 10-K.
