Searching for Data Tags

Data Tags are standardized identifiers used throughout the Intrinio API to represent financial metrics and data fields. Instead of memorizing every available tag, you can search the complete library of Data Tags directly through the API or browse them in the API documentation.

Search Data Tags with the API

The easiest way to find a specific Data Tag is by using the Search Data Tags endpoint.

This endpoint lets you search by keyword and returns matching Data Tags along with their descriptions and metadata.

Example searches include:

  • Revenue
  • EBITDA
  • Net Income
  • Cash Flow
  • Shares Outstanding

If you already know the ID of a Data Tag, you can retrieve its full details using the Get Data Tag by ID endpoint.

Browse All Available Data Tags

If you want to explore the complete catalog, use the All Data Tags endpoint.

This endpoint returns every available Data Tag and can be useful for:

  • Discovering available financial metrics
  • Building financial screening tools
  • Creating dynamic applications that allow users to select metrics
  • Exploring available standardized financial fields

Finding Data Tags in the API Documentation

If you're logged into your Intrinio account, you can quickly locate the endpoints associated with the data you have access to.

  1. Navigate to Account → Subscription or Account → Access.
  2. Select one of your included data feeds.
  3. Click View API Documentation.
  4. The documentation will automatically filter to the endpoints related to that data feed.
  5. Use the toggle at the top of the page to switch between:
    • My Endpoints – shows only the endpoints available with your subscription.
    • All Endpoints – shows every endpoint available across the Intrinio API.

This is often the fastest way to discover the Data Tags and endpoints that are relevant to your subscription.

Use the Intrinio MCP Server

If you're using AI-assisted development, the Intrinio MCP Server can help you locate Data Tags using natural language.

For example, you can ask:

  • "What's the Data Tag for operating cash flow?"
  • "How do I retrieve total assets?"
  • "Which endpoint returns EBITDA?"
  • "What Data Tag should I use for diluted EPS?"

The MCP Server is aware of your Intrinio subscription and can recommend Data Tags, datasets, and endpoints that are available to your account, helping you avoid using resources you don't have access to.
