Morningstar's investment research data — quotes, financial statements, ESG ratings, dividend history, Medalist ratings, valuation ratios, and trailing returns — is now available as structured data via the Anysite Morningstar Data API.
What's in the API
Ten endpoints covering the core Morningstar data surface, all under the /api/morningstar/quotes family:
- /api/morningstar/quotes — real-time quote for a ticker: price, change, bid/ask, volume, market cap, 52-week high/low, pre-market and post-market data, and trading status.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/dividends — dividend history and yields: per-period yield series (per-year series) and a full payment history with ex-dividend date, declaration date, record date, payable date, type, and amount.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/esg — ESG risk rating: overall score, risk category, sub-industry, controversy level (1–5) with descriptor and topics, and up to three notable ESG issues flagged by Sustainalytics methodology.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/financials — full financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow — annual or quarterly — with currency and fiscal year end date.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/history — intraday OHLCV price bars: open, high, low, last, and volume. Returns up to the requested bar count.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/key-metrics — key financial metrics benchmarked against the industry average: 3-year revenue growth, 3-year net income growth, operating margin TTM, net margin TTM, ROA TTM, ROE TTM, debt-to-equity, and free cash flow TTM.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/rating — Morningstar Medalist Rating for a fund or ETF: rating (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, Negative), rating date, investment type, and availability flags for analyst reports.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/returns — trailing total returns across eleven time horizons: 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, year-to-date, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/search — symbol and security search: ranked results covering stocks, ETFs, and funds with ticker, name, exchange, investment type, and relevance score.
- /api/morningstar/quotes/valuation — valuation ratios over time: P/E, P/B, P/S, EV/EBITDA and more, benchmarked against an index, with as-of date and index name.
Use cases
The most immediate use case is fundamental analysis. Combining /quotes/financials, /quotes/key-metrics, and /quotes/valuation gives you everything needed to build automated DCF models, margin trend trackers, or peer-comparison tables — with industry benchmarks already included in the key-metrics response, so you do not need a separate data source for context.
ESG screening is a natural fit. The /quotes/esg endpoint returns Sustainalytics-methodology ESG risk scores, controversy levels with descriptors, and specific notable issues — structured in a way that is straightforward to use as an exclusion screen, ESG-adjusted ranking, or regulatory compliance dashboard across a portfolio.
For fund and ETF research, /quotes/search combined with /quotes/rating lets you discover top-rated Morningstar Medalist funds in a category without a Morningstar Direct subscription. The Medalist Rating — Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, or Negative — reflects Morningstar analysts' forward-looking conviction about a fund's ability to outperform over a market cycle.
Income tracking is another clear application. The /quotes/dividends endpoint returns a structured dividend history with ex-dates, declaration dates, and payout amounts, making it straightforward to monitor dividend schedules and yield trends across a watchlist. Pair with /quotes/returns for a total-return view across trailing periods from 1 day to 15 years.
Getting started
All endpoints use the same REST interface as the rest of the Anysite API: a POST request with a JSON body and your API key. No Morningstar subscription, developer registration, or separate licensing required.

Full documentation, parameter reference, and code examples are on the Morningstar endpoint page. All Anysite plans include the Morningstar endpoints — no per-endpoint fees.
