Balance sheet API for every US public company
Get standardized balance sheets — assets, liabilities and equity — for 19,000+ US public companies through one REST endpoint. SECfinAPI normalizes the balance sheet from SEC EDGAR filings into a consistent JSON schema and reconciles it to the accounting identity, so totals actually add up regardless of how the filer tagged them.
Standardized balance-sheet line items
One request returns the full balance sheet, period-indexed:
GET /v1/company/AAPL/balance-sheet -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"Concepts include CashAndEquivalents, AccountsReceivable, Inventory, TotalCurrentAssets, PropertyPlantEquipmentNet, Goodwill, TotalAssets, TotalCurrentLiabilities, LongTermDebt, TotalDebt, TotalLiabilities, RetainedEarnings and TotalEquity — the same names for every company.
Reconciled so it balances
Many filers tag Liabilities as a partial subtotal, so naive extraction leaves assets ≠ liabilities + equity. SECfinAPI anchors on the reliable totals and derives the missing component (including noncontrolling interest) so the accounting identity holds. Total debt is summed from its components when not reported directly.
From balance sheet to ratios
The /metrics endpoint turns the balance sheet into leverage and liquidity ratios — debt-to-equity, debt-to-assets, current ratio, working capital, book value per share — and the /screen endpoint lets you filter companies by them. Need a spreadsheet? Add ?format=csv.
FAQ
What balance-sheet items does the API return?
Cash, receivables, inventory, current assets, PP&E, goodwill, total assets; current liabilities, short- and long-term debt, total liabilities; retained earnings and total equity — standardized across all filers.
Does the balance sheet always balance?
Yes. We reconcile to the accounting identity (assets = liabilities + equity, with NCI in equity) by deriving any component a filer reports incompletely.
Quarterly balance sheets too?
Yes — pass period=quarterly for 10-Q point-in-time balances, or annual for 10-K year-ends.
Can I screen by balance-sheet metrics?
Yes. /v1/screen filters by debt-to-equity, current ratio and more; the free tier screens the S&P 500.
