Your API Access Details

Any and all use of the XBRL US APIs and data returned from the XBRL US Database of Public Filings is in explicit consent and agreement with the XBRL US API Agreement.

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.
