Financial

Raw data and trends from financial statements.

The Financial insight provides comprehensive financial information about a company, including earnings data, company overview, and key financial metrics. This insight can be retrieved using the company's domain URL, the company's LinkedIn URL, the contact's LinkedIn URL, or the contact's email address.

🚧

Note: the only current available parameters for generate-insights are contactEmail and contactLinkedinUrl.

  • The system will pass back an array of insights, ranked by relevance.
  • The below documentation still accurately covers our schema, and demonstrates what might exist in that array.
  • Soon, you'll be able to specify certain insight types in your API request. Coming Q3 2024.
