Build on Germany filings programmatically.

The FinancialFilings API exposes Germany's regulatory disclosure stream through a single REST surface authenticated with one x-api-key header - the same key that works across all 42 covered markets. There is no per-country endpoint, no separate billing, and no segregated rate limit; a Germany-only integration is just a ?country=DE filter on the global filings endpoint.

For real-time pipelines, the webhook subscription model is the recommended path: subscribe once, receive a POST with full filing metadata within roughly 60 seconds of publication, and pull the body in the format you need. The same payload shape is used for every market, so your handler doesn't branch on country - German ad-hoc disclosures arrive with the same JSON envelope as a French AMF filing or a UK Stock Exchange announcement.

Filing bodies are available three ways: JSON metadata (issuer, type, dates, ISINs, language), Markdown via /api/filings/{id}/markdown/ (the same processed text rendered on the public web pages, ready for downstream NLP or LLM ingestion without a separate PDF-to-text step), and the original PDF / iXBRL for audit trails and regulatory archival. iXBRL is preserved for ESEF-mandated annual reports, so you keep machine-readable line-items where the regulator publishes them.

Typical use cases for the German API include: backfilling DAX / MDAX / SDAX consolidated financials for quant research, triggering signal generation off ad-hoc disclosures (insider transactions, profit warnings, M&A announcements), monitoring ESEF-tagged data for systematic strategies, and shipping structured German-language filings into LLM context for German-speaking analyst tools. Trial keys are available on request; the web product (search, browse, single-filing read) is free and indexed for the public web, so you can validate coverage before you integrate.
