Where to Get Accurate Filing Data from Publicly Traded Companies
Finding clean, structured financial filing data for publicly traded companies is harder than it should be. This guide explains what data is available on Akela Fund, how to access the free demo, and how to download it in JSON or CSV format for your own workflows.
The Problem with Finding Clean Filing Data
Anyone who has tried to build a spreadsheet model, a screening tool, or even a simple chart of a company’s earnings over time has run into the same wall: getting accurate, structured financial data is surprisingly difficult.
The official source—SEC EDGAR—is authoritative, but it is raw. You get HTML documents, XBRL files, and XML that require considerable parsing before they are usable. Commercial APIs like sec-api.io or Quantillium solve some of that pain, but they are priced for institutional teams and developers, not individual investors or analysts who just want the numbers in a format they can work with.
That gap is exactly what Akela Fund is designed to fill.
What Data Is Available
Akela Fund aggregates and standardizes financial filing data for publicly traded companies, covering three core financial statements per company per quarter:
Income Statement
- Revenue
- Cost of Goods Sold
- Gross Profit
- Operating Expenses
- Operating Income
- Total Expenses
- Interest Expense and Interest Income
- Net Income
- Earnings Per Share (Basic and Diluted)
- Shares Outstanding (Basic and Diluted)
Balance Sheet
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Marketable Securities
- Accounts Receivable
- Current Assets and Non-Current Assets
- Total Assets
- Current Liabilities and Non-Current Liabilities
- Total Liabilities
- Retained Earnings
- Total Equity
- Total Liabilities and Equity
Cash Flow Statement
- Cash Flow from Operations
- Capital Expenditures
- Free Cash Flow
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Cash Flow from Investing
- Cash Flow from Financing
- Dividends Paid
This is not just the most recent quarter. The data goes back many quarters, so you can track a company’s trajectory over time—essential for any serious analysis.
Try the Free Demo First
Before subscribing, you can explore the data yourself at no cost. The demo on the homepage gives you full access to filing data for 16 of the most widely followed companies—including AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, and others across tech, consumer, and healthcare sectors.
Search for any of these tickers in the screener. You will see the financial statements laid out by quarter, going back across multiple reporting periods. This is real data—the same format and structure you get with a paid subscription.
How to Download the Data
Once you have a company loaded in the screener, a Download button appears in the top right corner of the Reports panel. Clicking it gives you two options:
JSON (.json) The JSON file contains all three financial statements for the selected company, organized by quarter. This format works well if you are building a data pipeline, feeding data into a script (Python, Node.js, etc.), or want to store structured records. The file is pretty-printed and easy to inspect directly.
Excel / Sheets (.csv) The CSV export flattens the data into rows and columns, one row per quarter. Open it directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any tool that reads CSV. No conversion needed—just open and start working.
Both files are named with the ticker symbol and today’s date (e.g., AAPL_2026-02-25.json), making it easy to version your downloads.
Setting Up a Workflow
The download format is intentionally simple so you can plug it into whatever workflow you already have.
A few examples of how people use it:
- Spreadsheet modeling: Download the CSV, paste it into a model, and your revenue, margin, and cash flow history is already there.
- Screening and filtering: Use the JSON in a Python script to filter companies by any combination of metrics across multiple quarters.
- Charting: Load the CSV into a charting tool or notebook (e.g., Jupyter, Observable) and visualize trends over time.
- Validation: If you are building on top of another data source, use our data to cross-check figures against filed reports.
Pricing and Coverage
The demo covers three companies for free. A subscription at $10 per month unlocks data for close to 4,000 publicly traded companies—a broad coverage of US-listed equities across all sectors and market caps.
There is no long-term commitment. If you download what you need and cancel, that is fine. The point is to make accurate filing data accessible without the enterprise pricing that typically comes with it.
