Why does the filing date match the date?

down vote arrow

The filing date field is populated from the SEC, as a result, international stocks do not pull in data for the filing date and thus are mapped to the date.

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

down vote arrow

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 can I get the daily historical data from the year 2005 of Apple stock in 15-minute time intervals?

down vote arrow

To access the historical data, you can use the URL "https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/historical-chart/15min/AAPL?from=2005-01-01&to=2005-02-10&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" as an example. However, please note that there is a limit to the amount of data you can retrieve in one request. For 15-minute intervals, you can get data for up to 2 months in one API call. To access all the historical data from 2005, you'll need to make multiple API calls, each covering a 2-month interval. This may require you to implement a loop in your code to adjust the "from" and "to" parameters in each request to retrieve the complete dataset. Here are some examples: "https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/historical-chart/15min/AAPL?from=2005-03-01&to=2005-04-10&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" "https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/historical-chart/15min/AAPL?from=2005-04-01&to=2005-05-10&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" You can use these examples as a reference to create multiple requests, adjusting the "from" and "to" dates accordingly to retrieve the entire historical dataset.

Why is my API Key invalid?

down vote arrow

An API key may be invalid for several reasons, however, typically the API key was not configured properly in the query parameters. First, check if you mistype or provide the wrong API key, it will be invalid. Ensure you copy and paste it correctly. You can view and copy your API Key from your dashboard accessible in the top right corner or visit https://site.financialmodelingprep.com/developer/docs/dashboard once you've signed in. Second, check if the API is configured with the proper query parameters. An example is provided below for a simple quote request: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/quote/AAPL?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY If you have multiple query parameters, all subsequent query parameters are attached with an "&" instead of a "?". Only the first query parameter is attached with a "?". The ordering of the query parameters will not affect the response. The API key can be attached at the beginning, middle, or end with multiple query parameters. For example: Beginning of the request query parameters: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/income-statement/AAPL?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&period=FY&limit=5 Within the request query parameters: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/income-statement/AAPL?period=FY&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&limit=5 At the end of the request query parameters: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/income-statement/AAPL?period=FY&limit=5&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY If you are still having issues and you verified you have tried the above solutions, contact us at info@financialmodelingprep.com for more details.

down vote arrow

You can hit the bulk endpoints Once / 10 seconds and the Profile Bulk / ETF Bulk - Once / 60 seconds.

Why am I getting 502 - Bad Gateway error?

down vote arrow

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.
