Cash Flow Statement API
The Cash Flow Statement API returns the cash that moved through one company in each reporting period. A cash flow statement records cash received and cash spent, split into operating, investing, and financing activities. Each statement comes from the official filing: the 10-K or 10-Q in the US, or the local equivalent in other markets. Annual and quarterly periods are available. The API normalizes every statement into more than 50 line items, among them operating cash flow, capital expenditures, free cash flow, dividends paid, and share repurchases. One consistent schema makes cash generation comparable across markets and years.
Cash flow data arrives with the filing. An earnings press release or earnings
call adds no data. Values stay in the reporting currency of the company,
which the currency field identifies. For a cross-listed ticker or an ADR,
that currency can differ from the trading currency.

}Coverage
The API holds cash-flow history for more than 92,000 tickers across US and international exchanges.
The median ticker has 19 annual and 31 quarterly cash flow statements. The average ticker has 19 annual and 45 quarterly statements. Quarterly history is shorter than income-statement history, because some markets require a cash flow statement only in the annual or half-year report.
The two tables below break the coverage down by region and by company size.
Coverage by region
The first table groups the listed tickers by home region. The region of a ticker comes from the country of the company, not from its exchange.
| Region | Listed tickers | Covered | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| US & Canada | 35,594 | 32,392 | 91.0% |
| Europe | 24,274 | 21,360 | 88.0% |
| Asia / Pacific | 42,570 | 34,789 | 81.7% |
| Latin America | 3,000 | 2,224 | 74.1% |
| Africa / Middle East | 2,641 | 1,907 | 72.2% |
Coverage by market-cap bucket
The second table groups the listed tickers by market cap in USD. Coverage rises with company size: 98.7% of tickers above $10 billion have data.
| Bucket | Listed tickers | Covered | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≥ $10bn | 16,593 | 16,379 | 98.7% |
| $1–10bn | 19,244 | 18,023 | 93.7% |
| $100m–$1bn | 21,258 | 18,713 | 88.0% |
| < $100m | 30,855 | 23,322 | 75.6% |

Use cases
- DCF and valuation models: Build discounted-cash-flow inputs from
cf_free_cash_flow. The API computes it ascf_cash_from_operpluscf_cap_expenditures, where capital expenditures carry a negative sign. The response also includescf_free_cash_flow_firmandfree_cash_flow_per_sh. - Earnings quality: Compare profit with cash. The
cash_flow_to_net_incfield divides operating cash flow by net income. A value below 1 across many periods shows that reported profit does not turn into cash. - Capital returns: Track dividends and buybacks.
cf_dvd_paidgives cash dividends, andcf_proc_fr_repurch_eqty_detailedgives net share repurchases. Both are outflows with a negative sign. Add them for Apple to get the total cash returned to shareholders. - AI agents: Connect an LLM to the roic.ai MCP server. The
get_cash_flowtool returns the same normalized fields. For example, ask Claude how the free cash flow of Nvidia changed over five years. The agent answers with data from this endpoint.
FAQ
The API adds a period after the company files the official statement (10-Q, 10-K, or a local equivalent), usually within one to two days. The earnings press release and the earnings call add nothing, because the pipeline reads only the filing. For example, Nvidia posts a press release on the report date. The new cash flow statement enters the API when Nvidia files its 10-Q.
The values keep the currency of the filing. The currency field returns its
ISO 4217 code. The trading currency of the ticker can differ. For example,
the ADR of TSMC trades in USD on the NYSE, but TSMC reports in TWD. To get
statements and prices in one currency, query the primary listing,
TWSE:2330.
The API maps each filed statement into one schema, so the field names match
across companies. Some fields are derived and do not appear in the filing.
For example, cf_free_cash_flow comes from operating cash flow and capital
expenditures. When a company amends a filing, the API stores the amended
values. When fx_applied is false, the values contain no currency
conversion.
The API keeps the latest reported version of each period. When a later filing
changes a prior period, the record for that period takes the new values. There
is no point-in-time archive of earlier versions. The calculated_at field
shows when the record last changed.
The company did not report that line for the period. The reported detail
differs by sector and market. JPMorgan, for example, files no separate
capital-expenditure line, so cf_cap_expenditures is null. Section totals,
such as cf_cash_from_oper and cf_net_chng_cash, have values for almost
every covered company.
No. Each record is one consolidated statement for the whole company. For example, the API returns one capital-expenditure total for Tesla. It does not split that total by factory, product, or region.
