API documentationPlans and pricing

Recommended APIs

Start with the endpoints your feature needs. Each API includes documentation and sample requests.

Earnings Call Transcripts
Management commentary, analyst questions, and speaker-level transcript data.
Earnings Calendar
Earnings dates, reported results, and upcoming company events.
Income Statement
Revenue, expenses, and earnings for financial comparisons.
Balance Sheet
Assets, liabilities, and equity for company research.
Cash Flow
Operating, investing, and financing cash flows.
SEC Filings
Filing records and links for supporting research.

Integration workflow

Give users a path from an earnings event to the numbers, management commentary, and filings behind it.

  1. Identify the company and event

    Resolve the ticker, then use the Earnings Calendar API to find results or upcoming reports. Keep the company identifier and reporting period with every record so your product can join the right information.

  2. Bring the evidence together

    Retrieve the earnings-call transcript and the relevant income statement, balance sheet, or cash flow. Link SEC filings for further investigation. Select the APIs your feature needs; a transcript comparison may only need the transcript API.

  3. Deliver your analysis

    Build comparisons, searchable management commentary, or earnings briefs in your application. Let users inspect the original passages and reported figures alongside any calculations or generated summaries.

Example workflow

Input
A company and reporting period
API data

Product output
A research brief with supporting context

Example request

Start with an earnings-call transcript

This requests the latest available transcript for the ticker. Use the documented year and quarter parameters to select a reporting period. Transcript access requires a paid plan.

curl --request GET \ 'https://api.api-ninjas.com/v1/earningstranscript?ticker=AAPL' \ --header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key. See the endpoint documentation for parameters and response fields.

Production considerations

Match periods before comparing

Keep fiscal year, quarter, currency, and units explicit. A calendar date alone does not tell you whether two companies are reporting comparable periods.

Account for publication timing

A completed earnings call may not yet have a transcript. Check availability and let your interface distinguish an upcoming report from results or commentary that have been published.

Check the archive you need

Company coverage and historical depth vary by endpoint and plan. Evaluate representative tickers and older reporting periods before designing a historical research feature.

Plans and usage

Estimate usage from the companies, reporting periods, and datasets your research workflow covers. Check the transcript documentation for the archive available on your plan.

Use the free plan to evaluate supported endpoints. API and historical-data access vary by plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need every API listed here?
No. Start with the data needed for your first feature. For example, earnings-call search can begin with transcripts, while a company comparison may use financial statements. Add other endpoints when they contribute useful context.
Are transcripts available as soon as a call ends?
Transcripts are generally available within a few hours of a call ending, according to the transcript documentation. Availability varies, so your workflow should check for the transcript and handle a pending result.
