Resources

Description Resource

Description resources allow a user to perform a lookup on entities that have multiple values. For example, if a user is searching for all the companies that are based in Washington D.C., they would first need to know what cities are available for lookup.  Before making a call, they also need to determine if an abbreviation is used (e.g. DC) or  full text is used.

Template for description calls:

https://datafied.api.edgar-online.com/v2/descriptions/{resourceName}/{descriptionField}?appkey={APPKEY}

Where {resourceName} is a name of a resource, {descriptionField} is a name of a field from the resource you need to request description data for.

Filter Expressions

DataFied supports the expression-based 'filter' parameter. The supported expressions are listed below in the table.

  • All URLs must be encoded for every request
  • When entering decimal values, a zero must be specified before the decimal or the 'Invalid Symbol' error returns (example: 0.25)

Less than lt Provides a less than operation Filter=TotalRevenue lt 1000000
Greater than gt Provides a greater than operation Filter=TotalRevenue gt 1000000
Not equal to ne Provides a not equal operation Filter=primarysymbol ne "MSFT"
Greater than equals to gt-eq Provides a greater than equals to Filter=TotalRevenue gt-eq 1000000

Filter fields can be combined with either “AND” or “OR” operators and can be used with every field.

Note: If you are using Filter Expression for Insider Trade resources, please be aware that request will be invalid if aggregated field and non-aggregated field (see Aggregated Fields) are mixed in one request using “OR” operator.  Do not use “OR” operator while combining aggregated and non-aggregated fields.

Invalid Request:

https://datafied.api.edgar-online.com/v2/insiders/summary?fields=issueid,insiderformtype,numTransactions,sumnumTransactions&filter=sumnumTransactions gt 1 OR issueid eq 467297&appkey={APPKEY}

Valid Request:

https://datafied.api.edgar-online.com/v2/insiders/summary?fields=issueid,insiderformtype,numTransactions,sumnumTransactions&filter=sumnumTransactions gt 1 AND issueid eq 467297&appkey={APPKEY}

Developers can use only simple combinations: '<aggregated field>' and '<non-aggregated>'.

Examples of Filter Expressions:

  • Get all companies that have total revenue greater than 2086833000000.

https://datafied.api.edgar-online.com/v2/corefinancials/ann?filter=totalrevenue gt 2086833000000&fields=companyname&appkey={APPKEY}

  • Get all companies that contain Apple

https://datafied.api.edgar-online.com/v2/companies?filter=companyname contains "Apple"&appkey={APPKEY}
