Ordinexdata — Financial Intelligence API
Financial data that doesn't suffer from
look-ahead bias.
SEC filings, market prices, insider activity, and factor scores - queryable exactly as they were known on any historical date. One REST API, built to feed trading systems directly, not another dashboard bolted onto a spreadsheet.
Why this matters
No look-ahead bias, by construction
Company reports
A 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K is filed with the SEC.
Filing goes public
The filing's own filed_date is stored alongside the data.
Nothing is overwritten
Restatements arrive as new rows - the original reported value stays intact.
Query with as_of
Every endpoint filters by filed_date <= as_of.
Backtests can't cheat
A historical query only ever sees what was actually knowable on that date.
Architecture
How data becomes a signal
Connectors
SEC EDGAR and FRED, direct public-domain sources. Market data supplements the SEC-only factors while in beta.
Storage
Append-only, point-in-time - queries reconstruct what was known as of any date.
Scheduler
Refreshes on an interval, computes factor scores forward.
REST API
Filters, screens, ranks, backtests - all over HTTP.
Alerts & dashboard
Pull-based event conditions, and a thin read-only client over the same API.
What's included
Every endpoint below is live, not on a roadmap
SEC- and FRED-sourced data below is public-domain and available now. Rows marked (beta) are sourced from an unofficial third-party feed for evaluation only - not licensed for redistribution or commercial use - and will be offered under a licensed data provider once one is contracted. Self-service signup keys are scoped to the non-beta rows only; see Terms.
Dashboard
The same API, rendered
Real screenshots of GET /dashboard against live data - a thin, read-only client over the endpoints above, not a separate product.
Quickstart
From zero to your first factor score
Get an API key
Keys are issued per consumer - one per bot is normal. This is a private-beta API, so keys are created by the operator (see Access below).
Call an endpoint
Send it as the X-API-Key header on every request.
Read the response
Every factor for that date, in one object - missing factors are null, not a reason to drop the row.
Reference
Full endpoint reference, generated from the API itself
Every request/response shape below is generated straight from the running API, so it never drifts out of sync with what's actually deployed.
Access
Get an API key
Free during the private beta - one active key per email. Keys may be revoked without notice while this project is pre-launch. Self-service keys are scoped to the SEC/FRED-sourced (public-domain) endpoints listed above only - beta-tagged, Yahoo-sourced market-data endpoints are not licensed for redistribution or commercial use and will be offered once a suitable licensed data provider is contracted.
Prefer to talk first, need a higher limit, or want a beta-scoped key for evaluation in the meantime?
