API Enterprise

Region-wide analyst consensus estimates for a single date. One request returns, for every covered instrument in the requested region, the consensus EPS, revenue and EBITDA for each forward forecast period - up to four fiscal years, eight fiscal quarters and four calendar years - as it stood on the snapshot date.

Built for enterprise consumers: a single call replaces a per-ticker fan-out, the response is uncharged (no credits), and every row carries the full instrument-identity block so it can be joined straight onto your own security master.

A response holds several rows per date, one per forward period - up to four fiscal years, eight fiscal quarters and four calendar years. Every row states its period on both the fiscal and the calendar basis, because the two disagree for most companies: the quarter ending 31 December 2026 is Apple's fiscal FY27 Q1 and Microsoft's fiscal FY27 Q2. Use the calendar columns to compare across companies and the fiscal ones to line up against a company's own reporting; the period end date is the unambiguous key either way.

Region, date and period type

Use region to select the universe (a region name, an ISO-2 country code, or "ALL"; defaults to US), date to select the snapshot day (defaults to the latest available), and period_type to return one period basis - omit it for all three. A weekend, a holiday or a date ahead of the latest snapshot resolves back to the most recent date that carries data.

Coverage

Analyst coverage thins with distance: expect 20-40 contributors on the next one or two fiscal years and a handful by the fourth. A statistic is null where the vendor publishes none for that period rather than being fabricated from too few inputs. Calendarised rows for companies whose fiscal year ends far from December are blended from two fiscal years by the vendor and carry no single contributor count.

Source

Consensus is compiled by S&P Capital IQ from contributing broker estimates and captured here daily. Values are the vendor's, scaled to absolute units; the date is when they were observed, which is what makes a point-in-time request possible.

Try it out! You can test the API with the trial key TEST. Simply include it in your request headers; either here, or add the header "Ortex-Api-Key": "TEST" to your http request.

Trial key restrictions: Trial keys may be limited to a specific date range and set of regions. Requests outside the allowed regions or entirely outside the allowed date range are rejected; a date window that partially overlaps the allowed range is trimmed to it, reported in meta.restriction.
