Install the package, set your API key, and make your first query in under a minute.

pip install xfinlink

Create a free account to get your API key, then:

import xfinlink as xfl

# Set your API key — get a free key at https://xfinlink.com/signup
xfl.set_api_key("YOUR_API_KEY")

# Historical prices
prices = xfl.prices("AAPL", start="2024-01-01")

# Financial statements
fundamentals = xfl.fundamentals("AAPL", period_type="annual")

# Pre-computed metrics (P/E, ROE, margins, ...)
metrics = xfl.metrics("AAPL", period_type="ttm", fields=["valuation", "scores"])

# Index constituents
sp500 = xfl.index("sp500")

# Search for entities
results = xfl.search(q="apple")

# Entity resolution (handles ticker recycling)
entity = xfl.resolve("GM")

Use an API key via the X-API-Key header for full access (the Python client handles this automatically).

Most API requests require an API key. Create a free account to get yours. Search and resolve allow restricted unauthenticated calls; use a key for normal limits and full detail.

Pass the key via the X-API-Key header:

curl -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
  https://api.xfinlink.com/v1/prices/AAPL?start=2024-01-01

The Python client handles auth automatically:

import xfinlink as xfl

# Set your API key — get a free key at https://xfinlink.com/signup
xfl.set_api_key("YOUR_API_KEY")

Your API key is shown on the dashboard after sign-up. You can regenerate it at any time.

xfinlink follows the academic convention for price data. This matters for backtesting and returns analysis.

Adjustment direction: adj_close is split-only backward-adjusted to the current post-split share basis. To derive a forward-adjusted series from an anchor date, request raw close plus split_ratio, then compound split ratios forward.

import xfinlink as xfl

df = xfl.prices("AAPL", start="2020-08-27", end="2020-09-02", fields=["close", "split_ratio"], adjust="none")
df = df.sort_values("date")

factor = df["split_ratio"].fillna(1.0).cumprod()
df["forward_adj_close"] = df["close"] * factor

date        ticker  close      split_ratio  forward_adj_close
2020-08-27  AAPL    500.04001  NaN          500.04001
2020-08-28  AAPL    499.23001  NaN          499.23001
2020-08-31  AAPL    129.03999  4.0          516.15996
2020-09-01  AAPL    134.17999  NaN          536.71996
2020-09-02  AAPL    131.39999  NaN          525.59996

Why no dividend-adjusted prices? Dividend-adjusted prices retroactively change every time a company pays a dividend, making historical values unstable. xfinlink stores stable values (split-only adjusted) plus total returns, which is the academic standard for quantitative research.

How to compute dividend-adjusted prices client-side:

import xfinlink as xfl

df = xfl.prices("AAPL", start="2020-01-01", fields=["adj_close", "return_daily"])

# Build cumulative total return index
df["total_return_index"] = (1 + df["return_daily"]).cumprod()

# Derive dividend-adjusted price series
df["div_adj_close"] = df["adj_close"].iloc[-1] * df["total_return_index"] / df["total_return_index"].iloc[-1]

Price fields and fundamentals fields are on different split-adjustment bases.

adj_close is split-only adjusted (no dividend adjustment). All fundamentals per-share fields (eps_diluted, dividends_per_share) are as-reported with no split adjustment. Do not combine them for ratios (P/E, P/B, etc.) unless no split occurred between the reporting date and today.
