Financial Datasets is a primary-source data provider. Every dataset we deliver is collected, normalized, and served by us - with no third-party data vendors in the chain. This page details exactly where each category of data originates and how it reaches your application.

​
Why Provenance Matters

Institutional workflows demand auditability. When a model output or trading signal is questioned, you need to trace every input back to its authoritative source. Third-party data aggregators introduce opacity - you inherit their collection methodology, latency, and error surface without visibility into any of it. Our architecture eliminates that layer entirely. You get a direct, auditable path from source to API response.

Data Sources

​
Financial Statements & Fundamentals

All financial statements - income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements - are sourced directly from SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and related exhibits). We parse the original XBRL and HTML submissions, normalize line items across reporting standards, and deliver a clean, structured dataset spanning 30+ years. Source: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR system

​
SEC Filings

Our SEC filings endpoints serve filing metadata, full-text content, and structured exhibits pulled directly from EDGAR. There is no intermediary between the SEC’s public dissemination system and our API. Source: SEC EDGAR

​
Insider Transactions

Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 filings are ingested directly from SEC EDGAR as they become available. We parse each filing into structured records with standardized fields for transaction type, share quantity, price, and ownership details. Source: SEC EDGAR

​
Institutional Ownership

13F filings are sourced and parsed directly from SEC EDGAR, providing quarterly snapshots of institutional holders, position sizes, and portfolio changes. Source: SEC EDGAR

​
Analyst Estimates & Earnings

Earnings data, including actuals and press releases, is derived directly from SEC filings and issuer disclosures. Source: SEC EDGAR and issuer publications

​
Stock Prices

Equity price data - including open, high, low, close, and volume - is sourced directly from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ. We receive and process the official market data feeds without any third-party redistribution layer. Sources: NYSE, NASDAQ

​
Crypto Prices

Cryptocurrency price data is sourced directly from exchange APIs with no aggregator intermediaries. We connect to each exchange’s official data feed to capture trade-level pricing. Sources: Coinbase, Kraken, Bitfinex

​
News

Company news is sourced directly from publishers. We do not rely on news aggregation services. Articles are collected at the source and indexed against our company universe for precise ticker attribution. Source: Direct publisher feeds

​
No Third-Party Dependencies

Our data pipeline has zero third-party data vendor dependencies. This means:
  • Full auditability - every record traces to a named primary source.
  • No redistribution risk - your license covers the data as we collect it, with no upstream vendor terms to inherit.
  • Controlled latency - we own the entire ingestion path, so delays are measurable and within our SLA, not subject to an intermediary’s refresh schedule.
  • Single point of accountability - if something is wrong with the data, we own the fix end-to-end.
