A financial data API, listed out: exactly what we have, how far back, and when it refreshes

Coverage at a glance

The inventory

One row per data family. The tool names are the ones in the OpenAPI spec and the MCP server.

Full schemas for every tool in the OpenAPI spec; the same list, grouped, on the developer page.

On the website but not in the API — and not included at all

So you do not find out after you have written the code.

How you get the data

One REST call, or one MCP tool from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Same key, same credits either way.

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://mcp.evidinvest.com/v1/tools/get_income_statement",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['EVIDINVEST_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"arguments": {"symbol": "NVDA", "period": "annual"}},
    timeout=30,
)
statements = r.json()["result"]   # back to 1985; filing-linked from 2009

claude mcp add --transport http evidinvest https://mcp.evidinvest.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

1. 01

   Create a key

   Sign in, open API keys, create one, copy it once. Free calls to start, no card.

2. 02

   Call a tool

   POST /v1/tools/<tool> with {"arguments": {...}}, or add the MCP server to your client.

3. 03

   Keep the source

   Store the filing date and accession that come back with the numbers; they are what make the table auditable later.

Pay as you go. No subscription.

One credit balance per account, shared by the website, the REST API and MCP. Free to start: your first API key comes with 900 free API/MCP calls, no card. Then the same three packs the site sells. Credits never expire.

API/MCP data calls bill at 1 credit = 10 calls. AI analyses draw credits by the tokens they use.

You get more when you connect your own model. An analysis written on the site spends credits on our model. A call from your own LLM through MCP or REST only spends them on the data — so the same pack goes much further.

Questions developers ask

Where does a statement number come from?

For a US listing, from the company’s own XBRL filing on EDGAR — 10-K and 10-Q for US GAAP filers, 20-F and 40-F for IFRS filers. Each fiscal period is tagged with the date of the filing in which it was first disclosed, so a later restatement does not silently rewrite the history you already pulled. For the 40,000+ listings outside the US on 60+ exchanges there is no SEC filing to point at: those numbers come from EvidInvest’s standardized statements, and the response says so rather than implying a filing.

Is there a bulk download?

No. The API is per-symbol, per-tool, at 60 requests per minute per key. For a universe-wide pull, loop over symbols; the nightly refresh means a symbol only needs to be re-pulled after it files.

What is free?

The website is free. Your first API key comes with 900 free API/MCP calls, once per account, no card. After that usage is metered against your credit balance: Starter $10 = 360 credits, Plus $20 = 720 credits, Pro $59 = 2,000 credits. API/MCP data calls bill at 1 credit = 10 calls; AI analyses draw credits by the tokens they use. Credits never expire and there is no subscription to cancel. At a balance of 0 the API returns HTTP 402 with a top-up link; the refused call is not charged.

Can I show the data to my users?

US fundamentals come from SEC EDGAR filings, which are public records; the non-US listings come from EvidInvest’s standardized statements archive. US prices are Cboe, 15 minutes delayed, and non-US prices are end-of-day; every price-bearing response carries an attribution field with the source and the delay notice — keep both if you display prices.

EvidInvest never says buy or sell. It shows what the filings say and how each number was computed. Research, not investment advice.
