APIs for Fundamental Data

[ZBZB]

With the exception of some price ratios, most fundamental data are lagging. They are already baked into the price.
Some stocks with negative EPS are moving up fast. Those with positive EPS are priced in.
The market is a discounting mechanism.

There is post earnings announcement drift though. It takes big money days and weeks to build a position. Google it as there are several academic papers on it.

But it's convenient (both process and access). If you can't afford 50/month, you probably should not be in this business.

$50/month for one publicly available dataset? we're not talking about some alpha generating alternative dataset here. for that i'd pay thousands if not hundreds of thousands/month

These guys provide a large data set (sure public information) for a low cost of $29, as @sle mentioned, quandl makes it super convenient.
If you have a some basic programming knowledge, scrape this site https://stockrow.com/AAPL its free. You could also spend 1 day to learn the basic commands in R/Python and just use a package that scrapes yahoo (also free).

You rarely find alpha generating data sets. It usually comes from raw public information which you then transform in house to find alpha.
