I have written an email to info@xbrl.us but got no reply. Can anyone share their experience in getting the client ID and Secret?

Thanks for writing John; your account was provisioned yesterday. We triage by membership status, so there may be a few days delay between the time of request and confirmation.

XBRL API Interactive Documentation
XBRL API Documentation (PDF)
Getting Started with Google Sheets
1. Create a Google Account (without Gmail)
2. Install XBRL API Access (Google Sheet Add-on) (troubleshooting access)
3. Make a Copy of Google Sheet Templates:
Sample API Queries (works with Insomina) or Excel Power Query Template
these options require account provision

Using the XBRL API with the Public Filings Database

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, any and all use of the XBRL API to authenticate and retrieve data from the XBRL US Database of Public Filings implies user consent and agreement with the XBRL US API Agreement. If you are unable to agree to these terms, do not use the XBRL API.

Ready to work with the API in Excel's Power Query, or with your own system or app?

Contact us at info@xbrl.us to have your existing XBRL US Web account provisioned to generate client ID/Secret pairs to work with the XBRL API in a REST client or other application, including Excel's Power Query.

NOTE: You do not need to generate client ID/Secret pairs if you use the Google Add-on and Google Sheet exclusively to access data - the XBRL API Authentication Add-on handles this automatically.

Your account needs to be provisioned before you can login and generate client ID/secret pairs.
