SEC EDGAR as a clean API — company fundamentals, insider trades and institutional ownership, so you don't maintain the pipeline.
No parent/subsidiary double-counting that pushes ownership over 100%. Filer groups resolved.
CUSIP→ticker mapping done properly — the ~half of raw CUSIPs that don't resolve, resolved.
Amendments and restatements handled, back to 2013. What was known when, not silently overwritten.
Company fundamentals from XBRL, Form 4 insider trades and 13F holdings on one surface. N-PORT (fund holdings) next.
Free tier is 200 requests/day — enough to prototype against any of it.
