What is Alpevox Finance?
A REST API providing standardized company fundamentals, valuation ratios, insider transaction data, and news for NYSE and Nasdaq companies, sourced directly from SEC filings and live market data.
Where does the data come from?
Fundamentals are sourced from the SEC's public EDGAR system (XBRL filings). Live pricing, valuation calculations, and news are sourced via Alpaca Markets' market data API.
How often is data updated?
Fundamentals sync nightly, checking each company for new SEC filings. Prices sync on weekdays after market close. Insider transactions and news sync throughout the day.
How many companies do you cover?
We currently cover 200+ NYSE and Nasdaq companies, with more being added regularly. Check the /v1/companies endpoint for the current full list.
What's included in the free trial?
Every new account gets a 14-day free trial with full Pro-tier access — no credit card required. After the trial, continued access requires an active Pro or Pro+ subscription.
What's the difference between Pro and Pro+?
Pro includes Overview, Financials, Ratios & DuPont, Growth, and Valuation data at 120 requests/minute. Pro+ adds the Screener, Insider Trades, and Latest News endpoints at 300 requests/minute.
How do I get an API key?
Sign in and go to Account → API Keys → Generate API key. Your key is shown once at creation — store it securely, as we only store a hashed version and cannot show it to you again.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Go to your Subscription page and manage or cancel your plan at any time — no long-term commitment required.
Is point-in-time data really point-in-time?
Yes. Every fundamental value includes its filing date and SEC accession number, so you can reconstruct exactly what was known publicly at any point in time — built specifically for backtesting without lookahead bias.
I'm getting a 401 Unauthorized error
Check that your Authorization header is formatted as "Bearer avx_yourkey" (with a space after Bearer), and that your key hasn't been revoked. Session tokens (from being logged in) also work for testing in the dashboard docs.
I'm getting a 403 error about my subscription
Your trial or subscription has likely expired, or you're trying to access a Pro+-only endpoint on a Pro plan. Check your Subscription page for your current status, or upgrade your plan.
I'm getting a 429 rate limit error
You've exceeded your tier's requests-per-minute limit. Free: 30/min, Pro: 120/min, Pro+: 300/min. Space out your requests, or upgrade for a higher limit.
A company I need isn't in the results
We're actively expanding coverage. Check /v1/companies to see the current list. If a company you need isn't covered yet, let us know via the contact form.
My valuation ratios show as null
This usually means we're missing a required input (like shares outstanding) for that company, or — for banks and financial companies — some ratios like EV/EBITDA genuinely don't apply due to differences in how financial statements are structured.
