Fmp Api

What it does

This skill provides guidance and assistance for accessing the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API, a comprehensive data source specializing in financial analysis. It enables AI agents to retrieve real-time stock quotes, historical price data, financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow), key metrics, and valuation information. The skill includes examples of how to authenticate and use the FMP API with Python code.

When to use it

• When needing current stock prices or quick price snapshots for analysis.
• To retrieve historical end-of-day (EOD) pricing data for stocks.
• For accessing financial statements like income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
• To calculate key financial metrics and ratios.
• When performing basic financial valuations.

Key capabilities

• Provides access to FMP API endpoints for stock quotes, historical prices, and financial statements.
• Includes authentication instructions (environment variable or .env file).
• Offers a Python code example for retrieving real-time quotes.
• Lists available API endpoints with descriptions and free/paid status.

Example prompts

• "Get the current price of AAPL stock."

Tips & gotchas

• You need an FMP API key to use this skill. Set it as an environment variable (FMP_API_KEY) or in a .env file.
• Be aware that some endpoints, such as intraday prices and extended hours quotes, require a paid subscription.
• The API has migrated to /stable/ endpoints; ensure your code uses this new format.
