Implementation notes
When to use Financial Modeling Prep
Financial Modeling Prep is the best free source for stock fundamentals — balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, DCF valuations, and ratios for 25,000+ global stocks. The 250 calls/day free tier comfortably supports a personal portfolio tool that reads fundamentals for a handful of stocks daily.
Common pitfalls
- FMP's free tier excludes real-time price data. Stock quotes on the free tier are delayed by at least 15 minutes and some endpoints (earnings calendar, institutional ownership) require a paid plan even though they appear in the free tier documentation.
- The `demo` API key returns data only for Apple (AAPL). Code written against `demo` may appear to work but fails for any other ticker when using a real key if endpoint access differences are not accounted for.
- Some financial statement endpoints return values in thousands by default without explicitly marking the unit. A `revenue` field of `383285000` means $383.285 billion (thousands), not $383 million. Always check the `reportedCurrency` and scale fields.
- FMP's historical data quality varies by exchange. US stocks listed on NYSE and NASDAQ have reliable history back to 1985; international stocks may have gaps or inconsistencies before 2010.
