A cash flow statement is a financial statement that indicates how changes in balance sheet accounts and income affect cash and cash equivalents, breaking down the analysis into operating, investing, and financing activities. Essentially, the cash flow statement is concerned with the flow of cash into and out of the business. Our API allows you to access all of the individual financial items that compose a cash flow statement. There is a limit of 50 records per API call.
