SEC Financial Statements API — Income, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow

Pull structured income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements for any SEC filer via API. Normalized across companies and periods. Start free with 250 calls/month.

SEC Financial Statements API

Public companies report financial statements in XBRL format embedded in their SEC filings, but the raw data requires complex parsing and normalization. Datastream extracts, standardizes, and serves income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements as clean JSON — ready to compare across companies and time periods.

Capabilities

Three core statements

Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement extracted and normalized for every annual and quarterly filing.

Cross-company comparability

XBRL concepts mapped to a consistent schema so revenue from Apple and revenue from Microsoft use the same field name.

Period flexibility

Request annual or quarterly data. Pull multiple periods in a single call for trend analysis.

As-reported fidelity

Financial data matches what the company reported. Restated values flagged when available.
