Installation

You can install this package using npm:

npm install financialmodelingprep-node

Or using yarn:

yarn add financialmodelingprep-node

Configuration

This client uses the FinancialModelingPrep API key for accessing data. You can provide the API key directly or use an environment variable.

Using Environment Variables

1. Create a .env file in the root of your project:

   touch .env

2. Add your FinancialModelingPrep API key to the .env file:

   FMP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Direct Configuration

Alternatively, you can directly set the API key when creating an instance of the client:

const FinancialModelingPrepClient = require('financialmodelingprep-node');
const fmpClient = new FinancialModelingPrepClient('your_api_key_here');

Usage

Importing the Client

import FinancialModelingPrepClient from 'financialmodelingprep-node';

// Using environment variables for API key
const fmpClient = new FinancialModelingPrepClient(process.env.FMP_API_KEY);

Example Usage

Fetch the company profile for the given symbol.

// Fetch the company profile for a given symbol
fmpClient.companyProfile({ symbol: 'TICKER' })

    // Success!
    .then(data => {

        // Use the data as needed
        console.log(data);
    })

    // Failure!
    .catch(error => {

        // Handle any errors
        console.error(error);
    });

Using the any Method for Dynamic Endpoints

The any method allows you to call any endpoint by specifying the version and path. This is especially useful if new endpoints are added to the API, or if this library is not updated frequently to include those new endpoints.

// Use the `any` method to dynamically call any endpoint
fmpClient.any('v4', 'treasury', { from: '2024-09-13', to: '2024-09-13' })

    // Success!
    .then(data => {

        // Use the data as needed
        console.log('Treasury Data (via any method):', data);
    })

    // Failure!
    .catch(error => {

        // Handle any errors
        console.error('Error:', error);
    });

API Request Timeout

Specify a timeout (in milliseconds) for API requests. By default, the timeout is set to 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds).

const fmpClient = new FinancialModelingPrepClient(process.env.FMP_API_KEY, { timeout: 3000 });

API Endpoints

This client supports a wide range of endpoints, categorized as follows:

• Market Data: quote, quotes, stockMarketGainers, etc.
• Company Data: companyProfile, stockPeers, companyOutlook, etc.
• Financial Statements: incomeStatement, balanceSheetStatement, etc.
• Economic Data: treasury, economicCalendar, etc.
• News and Press Releases: stockNews, pressReleases, etc.
• Search: search, searchTicker, searchIsin, etc.

For detailed information on all available endpoints, refer to the official FinancialModelingPrep API Documentation.

If a new endpoint is introduced, you can use the flexible any method to call it without waiting for an update to this library. Alternatively, you can modify or add to the config files in the src/config directory to include new endpoints.

Note: The methods in this client generally follow the naming style of the FinancialModelingPrep API with camelCase conventions. Check the examples directory for the full list of available endpoints and their parameters.

List of All Available Endpoints

To get a complete list of all available methods (i.e., API Endpoints), you can use the getAllEndpoints function.

This function returns an array of all the method names supported by this client:

// Get all the API Endpoints
const endpoints = fmpClient.getAllEndpoints();

// Display the list
console.log(endpoints);

Examples

Here are some quick examples of how to use the client. For more examples, explore the full list.

Get Treasury Data

fmpClient.treasury({ from: '2024-01-01', to: '2024-12-31' })
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));

Search for a Stock

fmpClient.search({ query: 'text' })
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));

Get Stock Market Gainers

fmpClient.stockMarketGainers()
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
