Ways to fetch financial data for algo trading

Cool site, thank you for sharing. Do you use the same resources for pricing as listed on this post's github? I ask b/c some companies display NULL such as Alcoa (AA) for Price Earnings.

Also, the Balance Sheet, Income and Cashflow Statements all link to the same quarterly report web page. As a shameless plug for myself, I built https://Last10K.com that allow users to access individual financial statements & disclosures buried within lengthy 10-K/Q filings. We have an API too; maybe stox.dev can link to Last10K.com for this info?

I use financial modeling prep [0] for both real time quotes and the quarterly statements and Trading View for charts. The nice thing about it is it has everything parsed from the statements such that you can compare apples to apples. No need to hunt around in the documents for net income for instance. It also links back to the original documents as well. They also have a very well documented api.

Only thing I'm not happy about is that when I checked a few times, it took them a few days before they had earnings available. That and their screener is limited (which is essentially what I built).

Yours looks like it has similar features. How do your features compare? I couldn't find the API docs. Does your premium package allow for commercial use?
