Bulk Balance Sheet Statements API

Do you have bulk endpoints where I can easily access multiple companies' financial statements?

Yes you can access our Bach and Bulk endpoints where you will access companies financial statements in bulk. For the quote endpoint you can also call the API with multiple tickers separated via a comma.

Why are fields in the income statement 1,000 or 1,000,000 times larger than reported in their SEC filings?

Firstly, check if the financial statements are denominated in thousands or millions in their SEC statement. If this is not the case it is likely that our pull from the SEC is not denominated properly, which can affect just the shares outstanding (and diluted), or the entire statement. If you run into a rare instance of this please reach out to us here and we can get it fixed for you in a timely manner.

How do you handle historical data of financial statements when stock splits or reverse splits occur?

The financial statements are handled as required by the SEC. The number of shares outstanding are directly sourced from these filings. For historical price and shares outstanding, these are adjusted to account for stock splits and reverse stock splits

Why am I getting 502 - Bad Gateway error?

The bulks were designed initially to mitigate significant numbers of requests to the API and were mainly used to fill the database initially. They should not be run that frequently. What likely happened is that you were connected to one server and the overwhelming number of bulk requests overloaded the service. (Note we have over 200-300 servers globally at any given time). When you connect to the API the balancer will assign you one service closest and the most healthy to provide data to you - until your connection ends (typically every 60 seconds it will refresh you to another healthier service to keep you on the same service). We do have restrictions in place for select bulk endpoints and we will put more restrictions in place moving forward, however for now, it's best if you spread out your requests as they are updated once every 6-8 hours.

Why are cash flow and balance sheet fields sometimes missing (null) for Indian companies on BSE and NSE?

For companies listed on India's BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange), the reporting frequency differs from U.S. and European standards: Income statements are reported quarterly. Balance sheets are typically reported semi-annually. Cash flow statements are usually reported annually. Because of these reporting practices, you may see null values for fields like operatingCashFlowPerShare, freeCashFlowPerShare, cashPerShare, and certain balance sheet items when pulling quarterly data. This is not a data error — the companies themselves do not release complete cash flow or balance sheet updates every quarter. We recommend reviewing annual filings if complete financial data is required.
