About FactStream

SEC data shouldn't be this hard.

FactStream is a RESTful API that gives you 10 years of SEC EDGAR financial data — cleaned up, structured, and ready to use. No scraping. No parsing XML at 2am. Just the data you need.

Why this exists

If you've ever tried to build anything with SEC EDGAR data, you know the pain. The filings are inconsistent. The XBRL tags vary by company. The bulk downloads are massive and poorly documented. Half your time goes to cleaning data instead of building your actual product.

The alternatives aren't great either. Most financial data providers charge thousands per month, lock you into annual contracts, and bury the data you actually need behind upsells.

FactStream was built to fix that. One API. Clean data. Straightforward pricing. That's it.

What makes this different

Direct from SEC EDGAR

All data is sourced directly from SEC EDGAR — the official U.S. regulatory database. No third-party resellers, no mystery data pipelines.

Built for Developers

A clean REST API with JSON responses, predictable endpoints, and documentation that doesn't require a PhD to understand.

Honest Pricing

Starter plan is $49/month with a 30-day free trial, no credit card required. No annual lock-ins. No hidden API call surcharges.

Where we are today

FactStream is an early-stage product, built and maintained by an independent developer. It's not backed by a VC-funded team of 50. There's no sales team. No enterprise account managers.

What there is: a working API with 10 years of SEC EDGAR data covering 10,000+ US stocks, financial statements, earnings data, and valuation ratios. It works. It's getting better every week.

This is being built in public. The roadmap is open. If something is missing or broken, you can tell me directly and it'll actually get fixed — not routed through three layers of support.

Data integrity

Every data point in FactStream is sourced from SEC EDGAR, the official electronic filing system of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This is the same primary source used by institutional investors, regulators, and auditors.

We don't buy data from third-party aggregators. We don't mix in estimates or projections. The data is what companies filed with the SEC — structured and delivered through a clean API.
