FocusAlpha Data API

Institutional-grade fundamental, ownership, and event data for global equities — one REST API.

The FocusAlpha Data API gives you programmatic access to the data layer behind FocusAlpha: SEC filings and financial statements, a global company registry spanning roughly 25,000 companies across 82 countries, institutional and insider ownership, corporate events and news signals, and native coverage of Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and foreign private issuers.

Everything is served as JSON over HTTPS from a single base URL:

https://api.focusalpha.ai

Requests are authenticated with an API key and metered in credits — one credit per data call, with discovery and vocabulary endpoints free. See Plans & credits for how metering works.

How the API behaves

• Server-to-server. The API is designed to be called from your backend. Keep keys out of client-side code.
• Predictable pagination. Most dataset routes return { data, next_cursor, coverage }; pass next_cursor back verbatim to page. Details in Pagination.
• Honest errors. Validation fails loudly, out-of-credit and plan-gate refusals are explicit 402s, and every response carries a request ID you can quote to support. Details in Errors.
• One identifier to rule them all. Company-scoped routes accept a ticker, CIK, ISIN, or a canonical cmp_… id interchangeably. Details in Company identifiers.
