The XBRL API is connected to the XBRL US Public Filings Database - updated approximately every 15 minutes from the SEC's EDGAR system. Any database with XBRL data can use the XBRL API to retrieve data from it.
The APIs documented here (using our database) require a valid XBRL US API key which is freely available at http://xbrl.us/apirequest.
Get started by browsing this documentation, visiting our site's XBRL API page, getting involved in the XBRL Data Community and diving in to create your own analytics.
