👋 Overview

The Items endpoint allows you to extract specific sections (called items) from a given 10-K or 10-Q filing. This lets you easily extract data from a filing without having to parse the entire document. All you need to provide is the filing_type and the year of the filing. If you want to extract a specific set of items, then you can pass in multiple item parameters (example below) We have SEC filings for 10,000+ public companies. To get started, please create an account and grab your API key at financialdatasets.ai. You will use the API key to authenticate your API requests.

​
📊 Available Tickers

You can fetch a list of available tickers with a GET request to: https://api.financialdatasets.ai/filings/tickers/

​
🚀 Getting Started

There are only 3 steps for making a successful API call:
  1. Add your API key to the header of the request as X-API-KEY.
  2. Add query params like ticker to filter the data.
  3. Execute the API request.
Note: You must include either the ticker in your query params.

​
💻 Example

Filings
import requests

# add your API key to the headers
headers = {
    "X-API-KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}

# set your query params
ticker = 'AAPL'
filing_type = '10-K'
year = 2023

# create the URL
url = (
    f'https://api.financialdatasets.ai/filings/items'
    f'?ticker={ticker}'
    f'&filing_type={filing_type}'
    f'&year={year}'
)

# make API request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# parse filings from the response
items = response.json().get('items')

​
