Check the price This request checks the price without paying. These are the exact inputs used in the test of the first provider. The other two take ticker, period and limit parameters. Filings are added over time, so a new call can return a newer year. ```sh curl --fail-with-body https://app.taskfuel.ai/v1/call \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TASKFUEL_API_KEY" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-binary @- <<'TASKFUEL_REQUEST' { "url": "https://x402.ottoai.services/financial-statements?ticker=AAPL", "method": "GET", "dryRun": true } TASKFUEL_REQUEST ``` ### 2.

Your agent fetches revenue, net income, total assets and cash flow from the latest filing, with the filing and date named. ### Check where a figure came from. One provider tags each figure with its filing, date and XBRL concept, and flags a period a later filing restated. ### Get line items exactly as the filer reported them. Your agent reads each 10-K or 10-Q as filed, newest first, and picks the periods it needs. ## Questions ### Do I need a financial data account? No. Your agent pays from your TaskFuel balance, so there is nothing else to sign up for. ### What does a financial statements call cost? Our three Apple calls on 4 November 2026 cost $0.003, $0.025 and $0.0025. Your agent shows the price for your own request before it pays. ### What does it return? Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow figures taken from SEC filings, with the filing and period named. Our test returned Apple's FY2026 annual statements, and one provider listed five years. ### Why did one provider return an older year? Apple filed its FY2026 10-K on 3 November 2026. Two providers returned it the next day. Finnhub returned FY2025 as its newest filing. ### Which companies are covered? US-listed companies that file with the SEC. We tested Apple. ### Is this the same as stock quotes? No. This guide returns company financials from filings.
