Endpoint

Balance Sheet

  • Endpoint: /ticker-balance-sheet
  • Description: Retrieves balance sheet line items for a specific stock ticker, for the last 5 quarterly or 5 annual reporting periods.

Request Parameters

  • api_key (string, required): Your unique API key.
  • ticker (string, required): The stock ticker symbol (e.g., "AAPL").
  • type (string, optional, default quarterly_report): quarterly_report or annual_report.
  • date_from (string, optional): Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format, filters returned periods by report date. Must be provided together with date_to.
  • date_to (string, optional): End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be provided together with date_from.

Notes:

  • The difference between date_from and date_to must not exceed 3650 days (10 years). Future dates are not allowed.
  • How far back you can query is governed by your plan's historical data allowance, see Pricing Plans.
  • Any type value other than quarterly_report/annual_report is silently treated as quarterly_report by the underlying data source, but the response's meta.period_type field will echo back whatever value you sent. Only rely on quarterly_report/annual_report.
  • The meta object's period field is literally named "period_type ", with a trailing space, in the JSON response. Access it exactly as returned (e.g. response['meta']['period_type ']), not period_type.

Request Example
