API and MCP
Use Finbar data in your own software or an AI assistant.
You can use Finbar to programmatically query financial information from across our proprietary datasets, including company information, financial reports, and published financial datasets. This data is available via REST API and an MCP server. Both use your Finbar account's data access permissions and usage limits.

| Read Finbar data from a script or application | Make your first API request |
MCP lets an assistant call Finbar tools during a conversation. You connect the assistant and sign in with your Finbar account.
The API accepts HTTP requests and returns JSON. Your application uses a client ID and secret to obtain an access token, then sends that token with each request.
