How this service works
AnswerPool turns SEC EDGAR, the Federal Register, USAspending, NIH, BLS and OpenAlex into structured JSON answers that AI agents and developers fetch in one call. 69 endpoints free, no account; derived analyses $0.02–$0.05 per call by card credits or USDC (x402). MCP server, full provenance.
Output
A JSON object keyed by CIK and as-of timestamp, with a 'facts' map where each key is a financial metric (e.g. revenue, netIncome, operatingCashFlow, assets, liabilities, capex, researchAndDevelopment, shares) and each value is an array of up to eight FactPointRow objects containing fiscal period (fp), fiscal year (fy), period end date, form type, filed date, and numeric value. Also includes the source EDGAR URL and a disclaimer.
Example use cases
Quick fundamental screen before earnings
“Pull me the last eight periods of revenue, net income, and operating cash flow for Microsoft (MSFT) from their SEC filings so I can see the trend before their earnings call.”
Competitive benchmarking for analyst report
“I need normalized key financials — revenue, assets, liabilities, capex, and R&D — for Meta Platforms using their SEC CIK 0001326801 across all available reported periods.”
Automated pipeline replacing EDGAR JSON parsing
“Instead of downloading and normalizing the raw EDGAR companyfacts JSON myself, can you fetch the standardized XBRL financials for Tesla (ticker: TSLA) including shares outstanding and net income across the last several quarters?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/sec/xbrl/financialsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need pre-normalized, multi-period key financials for a single public company without the overhead of downloading and parsing the full SEC EDGAR companyfacts JSON. It is ideal for agents doing fundamental analysis, building financial dashboards, or screening companies, especially when you have only a ticker symbol or CIK and need clean numeric data fast. Prefer it over raw EDGAR APIs when you want standardized field names and do not want to handle XBRL taxonomy mapping yourself.
Side effects
- Neither ticker nor CIK provided — returns validation error
- Unknown or invalid ticker symbol — no matching filer found
- CIK does not have XBRL-tagged filings on EDGAR — empty facts returned
- SEC EDGAR upstream temporarily unavailable — upstream fetch error
- Payment not included or insufficient — HTTP 402 response
- Rate limiting if too many calls in quick succession
