👋 Overview

We have real-time financial metrics for all actively-traded equities in the US. 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.

​
🚀 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 provide the ticker.

​
💻 Example

Financial Metrics Snapshot
import requests

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

# set your query params
ticker = 'AAPL'

# create the URL
url = (
    f'https://api.financialdatasets.ai/financial-metrics/snapshot'
    f'?ticker={ticker}'
)

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

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