Search (by filters)

​

👋 Overview

This endpoint lets you search for companies based on a set of filters that you specify. You can filter by any financial metric that is listed below in the Filters section.

For example, you can search for companies with revenue greater than $100 million and capital expenditure less than $10 million and receive the following response:

{
  "search_results": [
    {
      "ticker": "ORCL",
      "report_period": "2024-08-31",
      "period": "ttm",
      "revenue": 53815000000,
      "capital_expenditure": -7855000000
    },
    {
      "ticker": "PLAY",
      "report_period": "2024-08-06",
      "period": "ttm",
      "revenue": 2211100000,

Each filter consists of a field, an operator, and a value.

• "gt" (greater than)
• "gte" (greater than or equal to)
• "lt" (less than)
• "lte" (less than or equal to)

The value must be a number like 1000000.
