stocks.screener

Fundamental stock screener built on SEC EDGAR XBRL Frames — screen every public filer on a reported financial concept for one period, in a single call. Absolute mode: give a concept (e.g. Revenues, NetIncomeLoss, Assets), a period (CY2023 annual, CY2024Q1 quarter, CY2024Q1I instant), and an optional op/value to filter (e.g. Revenues gte 10000000000 → companies with >= $10B FY2023 revenue). Ratio mode: add ratioConcept to compute concept / ratioConcept per company joined by CIK, then op/value filter the ratio (e.g. concept=GrossProfit, ratioConcept=Revenues, op=gte, value=0.7 → gross margin >= 70%). Returns matching companies with CIK, entity name, value (and ratio), sorted, plus meta with the total matched and the screenable universe size. Free, public-domain (SEC EDGAR).

Overview

The screener API is a pay-per-call stocks endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. Fundamental stock screener built on SEC EDGAR XBRL Frames — screen every public filer on a reported financial concept for one period, in a single call.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in screener data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs stocks data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/stocks/screener?concept=xx&period=example&unit=example&op=gt&value=1&ratioConcept=xx&sort=asc&limit=1'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:

  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):

// 1. Add @2sio/mcp to your MCP host config (Claude Desktop example below).
//    EVM_PRIVATE_KEY funds x402 payments per call.

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the screener API?
No. stocks.screener is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the screener API cost?
$0.0048 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the screener API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call stocks.screener from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
