Financial Ratios API

About the Financial Ratios API

Financial Ratios works by computing standard ratio analysis over normalized SEC EDGAR filings (10-Q and 10-K) for US public companies. Every value is derived from the filed income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow figures: profitability (gross, operating, net margin, ROE, ROA), liquidity (current, quick, cash ratio), leverage (debt-to-equity, debt-to-assets, equity multiplier, interest coverage), efficiency (asset, inventory, receivables turnover), cash flow (FCF margin, capex intensity) and per-share (EPS, book value, FCF per share). Data is refreshed continuously from official SEC filings.

What people use it for

Stock Screener Filtering

When screening public equities, brokerage apps evaluate short-term liquidity by comparing current ratios and debt-to-equity across competing firms.

Vendor Solvency Checks

Flag overleveraged suppliers before signing procurement contracts by checking debt-to-equity levels and operating margins against standard industry benchmarks.

Equity Research Dashboards

Financial media portals display gross and operating margins next to quarterly earnings reports to show readers true operating profitability.

Corporate Competitor Benchmarking

To benchmark balance sheet health against market competitors, corporate development teams monitor current ratios and debt liabilities across quarterly SEC filings.

Request parameters — GET /v1/financialratios

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/financialratios?ticker=AAPL&year=1&quarter=1" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Response — GET /v1/financialratios

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

What a call costs — 6 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.

Zero-code embed — one snippet, no backend

Drop an interactive Financial Ratios form onto any page. The widget calls the API for you, so no key ever appears in your markup and there is nothing to deploy.

Changelog — Financial Ratios API

Every change to this endpoint, newest first. Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps serving — response fields are added, never removed or retyped in place, so an integration written against v1 keeps working.
