We strive to get data from as close to the source as possible whenever we can. For financial data, that source is SEC filings. Public companies based in the US are required to file quarterly 10-Q and annual 10-K financial reports. Since 2009, those reports are also accompanied by machine-readable XBRL.

An individual financial report can have data points specialized for a certain industry, or even a specific company. To make the data more user-friendly and comparable across reports, we parse the XBRL and map tags to the generalized financial concepts that we return in our API.

When using the Financials API, you can learn more about where each individual data point came from by passing the query parameter `include_sources=true`.

Our concept mappings and techniques were heavily influenced by the methodology outlined here.
