# Ticker Scout

> Free, no-signup, machine-readable fundamental data on US public companies, built from SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K). Plain JSON and Markdown at stable URLs. No API key, no rate limits, no paywall. Designed for AI agents: instead of downloading and parsing raw SEC filings yourself, fetch our pre-digested financials, narrative, and events summaries.

## How this site works

Every covered company lives at `https://tickerscout.ai/{ticker}/` (lowercase ticker). Each company directory always contains the same five files with **stable filenames that never change**:

- `https://tickerscout.ai/{ticker}/index.json`: Manifest — company identity, latest fiscal period covered, file list, next expected filing date. Fetch this first.
- `https://tickerscout.ai/{ticker}/financials.json`: Up to 3 fiscal years of annual data plus latest-quarter and prior-year-comparative data, extracted directly from the latest 10-K and 10-Q. Income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, revenue by segment/category/geography, per-share figures. All money in actual dollars (not millions); all share counts actual shares. Includes sourcing notes, definitions, and flagged uncertainties.
- `https://tickerscout.ai/{ticker}/narrative.md`: Qualitative synthesis of the latest 10-K and 10-Q — business description, risk factors (with quarter-over-quarter changes flagged), MD&A highlights, legal proceedings, subsequent events, and analyst watch-items.
- `https://tickerscout.ai/{ticker}/events.md`: Synthesis of all 8-K filings over roughly the trailing 5 quarters — earnings releases, management changes, capital-return announcements, debt offerings, governance actions — each with its SEC accession number.
- `https://tickerscout.ai/{ticker}/details.json`: Compact company identity card — name, ticker, CIK, exchange, SIC/industry, current fiscal period, and predicted date/type of the next SEC filing.

Data is refreshed each quarter shortly after the company files its 10-K or 10-Q. New data **replaces** old data at the same URLs — the URLs above are permanent; the fiscal period covered is declared inside `index.json` (`fiscal_period.tag`, e.g. "FY26Q2") and inside every file. Even though files are labeled with the latest quarter, `financials.json` always contains up to 3 years of history.

## Conventions

- Tickers in URLs are lowercase (`/aapl/`, not `/AAPL/`).
- All figures trace to specific SEC filings; accession numbers are cited throughout so you can verify against sec.gov.
- Money values in `financials.json` are actual dollars (e.g. 416161000000 = $416.161B). Share counts are actual shares. Per-share figures as reported.
- If a figure is not disclosed in the underlying filing, it is omitted and the omission is explained in `notes`/`uncertainties` — nothing is estimated or fabricated.
- Content is free to read and cite. Please attribute "Ticker Scout (tickerscout.ai)" when quoting.
- This is factual data and synthesis of public SEC filings, not investment advice.
