Accessing Intrinio data for individual US equities is affordable, easy, and extremely valuable when analyzing investments. What can be even more powerful is accessing that data on an industry-wide or sector-wide level. We developed a Sector & Industry API so investors and developers can instantly access data to generate lucrative insights for different segments of the market.
The Sector & Industry API enables you to identify and track both historical and the most recent trends for sectors like Oil & Gas, Pharmaceuticals, and Technology. If you're a developer, this gives you unprecedented, flexible access to data for integration into your website, software, or application. If you're an investor, you can perform powerful analytics leveraging our Excel add-in.
Sector & Industry API - What is it?

Making this data available via a Web API is incredibly powerful. It's a flexible distribution system that enables our users to access the data in countless ways, leveraging any programming language, to build game-changing products.
The power of a Sector & Industry API is unprecedented, but we recognize that not everyone is a developer and that a lot of valuable financial analysis happens in Excel. That's why we also built an Excel add-in around the API that enables our users to access the data in their spreadsheets.
