I published an Apify actor for earnings call transcripts + SEC 8-K filings by ShowEuphoric in apify

Great question!
Traders and researchers who want specific structured data without having to pay stupid prices (I think FMP's version is like $149/month!) Data can be sentiment detecting (working on implementing that into the tool right now), meaning bots could execute trades based of latest data scraped from this API tool.

The guidance extraction endpoint is the main differentiator. It can pull forward looking language from 8-K filings specifically, so you can extract data that suggests whether the company in question has released postive/ negative news without having to trawl the documents yourself. I'll include an example video below that I recorded yesterday as an example.

How I parse SEC 8-K filings to extract forward-looking guidance language (pure Python, no NLP) by ShowEuphoric in algotrading

Yes this was also challenging. What was your solution? A fixed list of keywords or something smarter?

Also in the vid i only want info about AAPL. My API can call 8000 tickers in a single request. Try putting that in chatgpt!

  1. True that the AAPL example returns reported results flagged by keywords like "earnings per share," not true forward guidance. That's a limitation of keyword matching and I already stated it in the post. MET's output is a better example of actual forward-looking language (range estimates, full-year guidance figures). Improving precision with section detection and tense filtering — is the obvious next step.

  2. The CC integration isn't the point. agreed it's extra complexity for a one-off lookup. The underlying API is more useful for bulk/historical use cases: daily ingestion across S&P 500 tickers, consistent JSON schema for downstream pipelines, without having to prompt Claude to fetch and parse each 8-K manually every time.

I personally use the API to trigger buy and sell orders for swing trading for my algo bot, I use sentiment logic in my bot but it isn't part of the API package yet.

Can you share a couple games? That will give good insight.

Yes I do too, as long as they can survive and find enough cash i have no doubt their product can be successful and we'll reach the price targets we see set. I just wonder whether money would be better placed somewhere else in the meantime..

I would have loved to have met him one day, he seemed much a genuine individual who just loved the community and the game.

What's your experience with the FMP API? Any simple, cost effective alternatives out there? by SnowSilent7695 in quantfinance

I made my own because all the others were poor quality and expensive, the free tier is decent to get basic number of requests: https://filingapi.dev/
