Companies

Parameters#

company_idsstringoptional · query

Filter by issuer IDs. May be combined with instrument selectors; filters intersect, except on issuer-level datasets (statements, segments, estimates, earnings, insider transactions), where an instrument selector is read as its company and takes the place of company_ids, so results cover every share class.

instrument_idsstringoptional · query

Filter by stable instrument IDs. IDs and symbols may not be combined.

symbolsstringoptional · query

Convenience lookup for exchange-listed instruments as MIC:TICKER or a bare ticker, which resolves to the exchange listing that ticker; resolves at symbol_at. The MIC and the ticker are case-insensitive, and two spellings of one listing (AAPL and XNAS:AAPL) count as a repeated value. A bare ticker that names no listing as written is also read in the common vendor spellings: with an exchange suffix (RY.TO, SHEL.L, VOD.LSE, BHP.AX), ^GSPC for INDEX:GSPC, and EURUSD=X or EURUSD for FOREX:EUR-USD. A ticker may contain a space (BAC PRL) but not start or end with one. A request in which no symbol resolves returns 404 symbol-not-resolved; otherwise each symbol that does not resolve, or resolves to a listing with no rows for the request (no-data), is an entry of meta.errors. IDs and symbols may not be combined.

symbol_atstringoptional · query

Resolve symbols as they were assigned at the end of this UTC date (YYYY-MM-DD); defaults to as_of. Only listings the security master holds resolve: it was built in September 2026 and records delistings from then on, so most issuers delisted earlier, such as TWTR or SIVB, resolve at no date. Only valid with symbols.

countriesstringoptional · query

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes.

qstringoptional · query

Case-insensitive company name search. Without order, the best matches come first: an exact name, then names that start with the text, then other matches, the company with the most traded listing first within each. A value that is empty or only whitespace returns 422.

effective_datestringoptional · query

Effective date, defaults to the UTC date of as_of. Returns the latest eligible snapshot on or before this date; response retains its actual snapshot date.

as_ofstringoptional · query

Knowledge cutoff as a UTC date (YYYY-MM-DD): the response reflects what was known by the end of that day. Defaults to now; cannot be in the future. A date from before the dataset's knowledge history returns 422 point-in-time-unavailable naming the earliest one, which GET /v1/datasets lists as earliest_as_of.

known_fromstringoptional · query

First UTC date (YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive) on which a revision became known.

known_tostringoptional · query

Last UTC date (YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive) on which a revision became known; on or after known_from.

orderstringoptional · query

Direction on id; ties use ID ascending.

ascdesc

Default: asc

limitintegeroptional · query

Maximum records per page.Default: 100

cursorstringoptional · query

Opaque cursor, expires after one hour; binds filters, order, resolved as_of, account/key and entitlement. Repeat the original query unchanged.

formatstringoptional · query

Response format. csv returns the data rows with a header row, for spreadsheet functions such as IMPORTDATA; nested fields become dotted columns and lists one JSON array cell, the next page cursor is returned in X-Next-Cursor and meta.errors in X-Meta-Errors. A result without rows is the header row alone, listing the documented fields of a row. Default json, or csv when format is omitted and the Accept header ranks text/csv above JSON; a format the Accept header does not admit returns 406 not-acceptable.

jsoncsv

Response fields#

Returns data as an array of records. All example values are illustrative.

idstring

Opaque stable public identifier; never an internal database key.

namestring

Legal/display company name.

descriptionstring · null

Business description.

country_codestring

country code

sectorstring · null

Sector name, in the connected source's own categories. Null for funds (ETFs and mutual funds), units, warrants and rights, which the source does not classify.

industrystring · null

Industry name, in the connected source's own categories. Null where sector is.

classificationsarray

Coded industry classifications. No coded scheme is connected yet, so the list is empty on every company; sector and industry carry the names.

website_urlstring · null

website url

logo_urlstring · null

Company logo hosted by OHLC, SVG or PNG from the best-ranked source, so read the format from the file extension or Content-Type. It is always the current logo, whatever as_of. The URL changes when the logo changes, so it can be cached indefinitely.

employeesinteger · null

Reported employee count.

addressobject · null

address

officersarray

officers

instrumentsarray

instruments

Response metadata#

Responses include meta.timezone. Dataset responses include next_cursor; health and exports have their own metadata. Request tracing uses the X-Request-ID header.

When something goes wrong#

An empty data: [] is a successful query with no matching records. Invalid symbols, permissions and malformed parameters produce an RFC 9457 problem with an actionable detail.

Plans#

Requires companies.read. Access, recency and history depth come from the plan definitions the API enforces.

Free requests are limited to AAPL, NVDA, JNJ, PEP, MSFT, SPY, QQQ.

History is how far back a plan may request. How far records actually go for a symbol is history_from in dataset coverage. Nothing is real-time. Compare plans
