banks_get_financials
Fetch one bank's bounded, newest-first FDIC quarterly financials.
Description
Fetch one bank's bounded, newest-first FDIC quarterly financials.
The shared envelope's data identifies the institution and reports
period_type="quarter". data.quarters holds report-date periods,
fiscal-quarter labels, and values dictionaries keyed by metric_key;
every value carries an exact decimal, unit, currency, and as_of.
data.metric_definitions echoes the requested vocabulary and its
interpretation. meta carries source="fdic" and the freshest value
timestamp on the page; pagination carries the 8-quarter default,
has_more, and next_cursor (maximum 40 quarters per call).
FDIC monetary metrics use USD thousands, not dollars: multiply a
returned monetary value by 1,000 to express dollars. A definition with
basis="ytd_flow" (for example net_income_ytd) is cumulative from the
start of that year, so do not treat it as a standalone quarterly flow.
Percent metrics have null currency. Use banks_search_institutions
first when you have a name; use stocks_* for SEC filers because an
FDIC cert is not a ticker.
To page, pass pagination.next_cursor back as cursor; stop when
has_more is false and next_cursor is null. Errors are
unknown_entity for an unrecognized cert and bad_parameter for an
unknown metric, reversed date range, or invalid cursor (schema-invalid
bounds are rejected before dispatch).
Example: banks_get_financials(cert=628, metrics=["total_deposits", "re_construction_land"], limit=4). FDIC
cert 628 is JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association.
