FMPY - Financial Modeling Prep API Python SDK

A Python SDK for the Financial Modeling Prep API. This package provides a simple, Pythonic interface to access financial data, stock quotes, and company information.

Installation

Use uv to install the package:

uv pip install fmpy

Or using regular pip:

pip install fmpy

Authentication

To use the FMP API, you need an API key. You can sign up for one on the FMP website.

You can provide your API key in two ways:

1. Pass it directly when creating the client:

import fmpy

client = fmpy.Client(api_key="your_api_key")

2. Set the FMP_API_KEY environment variable:

export FMP_API_KEY="your_api_key"

import fmpy

client = fmpy.Client()  # Will use the environment variable

Features

FMPY provides access to a wide range of financial data:

• Company information
• Real-time and historical stock quotes
• Financial statements (income statements, balance sheets, cash flows)
• Ratios and metrics
• Cryptocurrency and forex data
• News and press releases
• And more...

# Get response as JSON
json_data = client.company.profile("AAPL", as_dataframe=False)
