About
Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) offers stock prices, company financial statements, ratios, analyst estimates, and market news through a simple REST API. You can use it to pull a company's income statement for a research sheet, to build a ratio dashboard comparing tech stocks, or to feed end-of-day prices into a spreadsheet with a no-code tool. The free tier is limited to delayed or sandbox data and a modest daily allowance, which is fine for learning and prototypes.
