Use This Domain Data API To Get A Company’s Revenue

Are you looking for an API that allows you to get a company’s revenue? Then you should check this one out.

Revenue is the amount of money created by typical business operations and is determined by multiplying the average sales price by the number of units sold. Net income is calculated by subtracting expenditures from the top-line figure. Depending on the accounting technique used, there are many methods for calculating revenue.

Current and prospective shareholders can keep track of impending earnings announcements by using internet tools such as the Nasdaq online earnings calendar. Earnings reports that have already been published can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) website, SEC.gov, as well as in other publications. However, here we’ll explain to you how this information can be obtained with an API.

What’s An API

When we talk about an API, we’re referring to an interface that connects two computers or applications and allows them to communicate. When you send a request to an API, you obtain an answer that’s related to the information you want to obtain. This is used by many websites and applications and it’s one of the most useful ways to get data from another place that you can later use as your own.

This API is obtained when you use a software that provides you with it. There are a few of these online that ask for an email or domain to gather information from it. For example, you want to know where Twitter’s main office is located. You just enter www.twitter.com in it and then instantly get the API that tells you where it is.

So, it’s the same way with a company’s revenue. You just enter the domain and the API gives you the information. However, not all softwares can provide you with this data, so you should be careful with which one you use. To explain this process better, we will use Klazify, one of the most complete domain APIs available, and show you how to use it.

How To Obtain The API

To obtain the information you have to:

The end product will look like this:

"objects": {
    "company": {
      "name": "Google",
      "city": "Mountain View",
      "stateCode": "CA",
      "countryCode": "US",
      "employeesRange": "100K+",
      "revenue": null,
      "raised": null,
      "tags",
"tech"

How Does This Work?

Klazify is a free and extensively used API for categorizing websites that employs Natural Language Processing (NLP) and a Machine Learning Engine. When you use this API, it connects to the site or URL you provide, gathers data, then categorizes it into over 385 different categories. The response will be shown in a variety of computer languages, such as JSON, PHP, and Python.

Because Klazify allows both base domain and complete path URLs, you must exercise caution while pasting them. The domain name and top-level domain (TLD), such as www.wsj.com, are the first. The second is area-specific and enables for a highly comprehensive investigation and classification of online material at the designated place. See, for example, https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-entrepreneurs-can-get-the-most-out-of-a-business-coach-11630678676
