Excellent for filings and extraction — Valuein turns filings into an auditable fundamentals brain.
sec-api.io is a strong commercial SEC filings-and-extraction API: query, full-text search, sub-300ms streaming, section extractors, and XBRL-to-JSON, back to 1993. Valuein consumes the same EDGAR source but ships a governed, point-in-time fundamentals time series with audited ratios, index membership, and agent-native delivery.
The short version, including where sec-api.io is the better pick.
sec-api.io gives you filings and extraction primitives — you assemble the analysis. Valuein gives you the assembled product: standardized concepts, restatement-vintage PIT, audited ratios, survivorship-free index membership, and an agent-safe MCP, all with a fact_id back to the filing.
Search & extract raw filings: Fundamentals-first (filing links included).
sec-api.io supports 400+ filing form types — far more than fundamentals filings
Teams that want a finished, auditable SEC fundamentals product with agent delivery rather than building standardization, PIT, and ratios on top of a filings/extraction API.
