Hey ! 👋
I'm excited to share StockAInsights after almost a year of obsessive building.
The backstory: I'm a long-time investor who got burned by one of those popular (expensive!) financial data APIs. Missing quarters everywhere, wrong calculations, constant bugs. I was sending bug reports weekly. Eventually gave up.
So I decided to fix it myself. Started with the "proper" approach—XBRL extraction using tools like Arelle. Quickly learned why most APIs are broken: it's nearly impossible without tons of manual work. SEC has classification errors, companies use custom fields, there's incorporation by reference, mergers, CIK successions... it's a nightmare.
The breakthrough: I spent the last year building a multi-strategy AI system that extracts data directly from SEC filings. The results honestly shocked me.
- 400+ normalized fields across all three financial statements
- Virtually Zero missing quarters (12+ years historically or since IPO date)
- Industry-specific templates—banks, insurance, REITs, energy, utilities
- Smart AI Insights - Free-form chatbot where you ask any question about stocks, compare companies across industries, get instant answers based on complete financial data
- AI Deep Dive - Automated analyst that scrutinizes every SEC filing and asks critical questions investors miss.
- DCF valuation tools, 175-pages Investors Academy, full API access, institutional and insider trading, mergers/acquisitions/key events and many more. There are a ton of features already.
- The AI also reads the full 10-Ks and pulls out the stuff that actually matters - risks, red flags, margin pressures, all summarized so you don't have to read 200 pages yourself.
And yes - full API access is included. Same data, ready for your own models, spreadsheets, whatever you're building. That was a big priority for me because I wanted this data for my own stuff too and I know how valuable it is.
The data density is wild. While other APIs return 2 fields for some quarters, ours consistently delivers complete data for every period.
What's next: More companies (targeting 6,000+), international markets, extensive 8-K processing.
Free tier available so you can test the quality yourself. Would love to hear what you think!
