Install
pip install 'askamerica[engine]'
askamerica login # get your free API key
The query engine JAR (~80 MB) is downloaded automatically on first use. To pre-download it explicitly (useful for CI or Docker):
askamerica install-engine # optional — runs automatically on first query otherwise
Set your API key as an environment variable (or let askamerica login store it):
export ASKAMERICA_API_KEY=aa_free_...
Query
One-liner — returns a pandas DataFrame:
import askamerica as aa
df = aa.query("SELECT company_name, value_dollars FROM sec.financial_facts WHERE canonical_name = 'Revenue' ORDER BY value_dollars DESC FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY")
print(df)
Raw JDBC connection:
import askamerica as aa
conn = aa.connect()
stmt = conn.createStatement()
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT cik, company_name FROM sec.filing_metadata ORDER BY filing_date DESC FETCH FIRST 5 ROWS ONLY")
while rs.next():
print(rs.getString("company_name"))
conn.close()
