Request Examples

params = {
"ticker": "AAPL",
"year": 2025,
"quarter": 4
}
response = requests.get(f"{base_url}/api/tables", headers=headers, params=params, timeout=30)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()Response Fields To Inspect
table_id, title, section, and accession before using a table as evidence.- Row labels, column labels, units, and footnotes instead of inferring meaning from position alone.
- Pagination or match-score fields when search returns multiple candidate tables.
Errors And Coverage
401or403: the API key is missing, expired, or not allowed to use this tier.429: retry after the rate-limit window, and prefer broader batch or series tools over repeated single-period calls.- Cold work can take longer and may queue background fetch or parse work; use status fields or follow-up tools before finalizing.
- Honor pagination and truncation metadata; request the next page instead of assuming the first response is complete.
