StockFit API

StockFit API is a specialized financial data platform engineered specifically for developers, quantitative analysts, and research platforms that require direct, reliable, and auditable access to SEC filing data. The core problem StockFit solves is the longstanding compromise in financial data access: either pay for low-cost tiers that deliver inaccurate or incomplete datasets, or commit to expensive enterprise contracts that drain startup budgets. StockFit completely eliminates this tradeoff by pulling financial data directly from SEC XBRL filings, which means there is no derived middle layer and every single number is traceable back to its original filing source. This architecture gives users complete confidence that the data they are modeling is accurate, consistent, and fully auditable. The platform covers a comprehensive range of financial information including fundamentals, ownership data, ETF and mutual fund exposure, insider transactions, and all types of SEC filings. StockFit handles complex edge cases that other APIs routinely ignore, such as amended filings, non-December fiscal years, and proper Q4 reconstructions from 10-K and 10-Q data. Beyond raw numerical data, StockFit provides rich economic models per company including offerings, peers, operating levers, competitive advantages, flywheels, strategic initiatives, and failure modes. For ETF and mutual fund exposure analysis, the platform models mandate, portfolio construction, costs, sensitivities, and use cases in an AI-friendly format optimized for LLM workflows. With over 250 million facts, 5 million filings, and daily updates, StockFit is purpose-built for serious financial analysis, valuation modeling, and quantitative backtesting.
