Getting Started

Welcome to Intrinio! Whether you're exploring financial data for the first time or integrating our APIs into a production application, this guide will help you get up and running quickly.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Start by creating an Intrinio account and selecting the plan that best fits your needs. Every self-service plan includes a 14-day free trial, giving you immediate access to your subscribed datasets and API documentation. Your API key is typically available within minutes after signup.

Sign up here: https://intrinio.com/pricing

Step 2: Find Your API Key

After signing in:

  1. Navigate to your Account page.
  2. Locate your API Key.
  3. Use this key to authenticate requests to the REST API.

Note: Your API key is used for the REST API only. The Intrinio MCP Server uses OAuth 2.0 authentication instead of API keys.

Step 3: Explore Your Available Data

Your account only displays the datasets and API endpoints available with your subscription.

The easiest way to discover what you have access to is:

  1. Go to Account → Subscription or Account → Access.
  2. Select one of your included data feeds.
  3. Click View API Documentation.

The API documentation automatically filters to the endpoints associated with that dataset, making it easy to find the APIs you'll use.

You can also switch between:

  • My Endpoints – Only the endpoints included with your subscription.
  • All Endpoints – Every endpoint available across the Intrinio platform.

Step 4: Make Your First API Request

Once you have your API key, you're ready to start making requests.

Our REST API provides access to hundreds of endpoints covering financial statements, stock prices, options data, company information, ETFs, SEC filings, news, and much more.

Complete API documentation is available at:

https://docs.intrinio.com

Step 5: Accelerate Development with the Financial Data MCP Server

If you're building with AI coding assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Windsurf, we highly recommend using the Intrinio Financial Data MCP Server.

The MCP Server can:

  • Recommend the best datasets for your use case.
  • Suggest the correct API endpoints.
  • Understand which datasets your account already has access to.
  • Reduce implementation errors by guiding your AI assistant toward supported resources.

The MCP Server authenticates using OAuth 2.0 rather than an API key. If you're connecting programmatically, use your SDK's built-in OAuth support instead of passing your API key as a bearer token.

Step 6: Use the OpenAPI Specification

If you're generating code or working with AI-assisted development tools, the Intrinio OpenAPI specification is the preferred technical reference.

It contains:

  • Endpoint definitions
  • Request parameters
  • Response schemas
  • Authentication requirements
  • Example requests
