The Problem: Drowning in Data (and\u00a0PDFs)<\/h3>\n

A few years ago, I had a weekly\u00a0ritual.<\/p>\n

Every Sunday evening, I\u2019d grab a coffee, open my laptop, and start collecting financial reports<\/strong> for the stocks I was following. Apple, Microsoft, a few ETFs. I\u2019d download PDFs, copy numbers into spreadsheets, and try to make sense of the\u00a0data.<\/p>\n

It took\u00a0hours.<\/p>\n

And what frustrated me the most wasn\u2019t the work\u200a\u2014\u200ait was how outdated my analysis felt<\/strong> by the time I was done. Markets move fast. Manually copying balance sheets from 10-Q reports? Not fast\u00a0enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market doesn\u2019t wait for anyone. Not you, not me.\u201d<\/em>\u200a\u2014\u200aWarren\u00a0Buffett<\/p>\n

The Turning Point: Automate or\u00a0Quit<\/h3>\n

At some point, I realized:
If I wanted to stay ahead, I needed real-time data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But I\u2019m not a full-time developer. I didn\u2019t want to spend weeks coding scripts or maintaining APIs. I needed something simple, reliable, and\u200a\u2014\u200aideally\u200a\u2014\u200aautomated.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I found EODHD<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0n8n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With EODHD, I could access fundamental data, valuations, technicals, dividends, and more<\/strong> for thousands of companies.
With n8n, I could pipe that data directly into Google Sheets<\/strong>, no coding required.<\/p>\n

In one evening, I built the workflow that replaced my entire Sunday\u00a0ritual<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What Data Does EODHD\u00a0Provide?<\/h3>\n

This isn\u2019t just stock price data. With a single API call, you can\u00a0get:<\/p>\n

General Info<\/h4>\n

Company name, ticker, exchange, sector.<\/p>\n

Balance Sheet<\/h4>\n

Total Assets<\/strong>, Total Liabilities<\/strong>, Shareholder Equity<\/strong>.Cash & Equivalents<\/strong>, Other Current\u00a0Assets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Valuation Metrics<\/h4>\n

PE Ratio<\/strong>, Forward PE<\/strong>, Price\/Sales<\/strong>, Price\/Book<\/strong>.Enterprise Value<\/strong> and ratios like EV\/EBITDA.<\/p>\n

Highlights<\/h4>\n

Market Cap<\/strong>.EBITDA<\/strong>.Profit & Operating Margins<\/strong>.Quarterly revenue\u00a0growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dividends &\u00a0Splits<\/h4>\n

Dividend yield, ex-dividend dates, payout\u00a0ratio.Historical splits & dividend\u00a0history.<\/p>\n

Technicals<\/h4>\n

Beta, moving averages, short interest.<\/p>\n

(If you\u2019ve ever manually parsed a 10-K for this, you know how magical it feels to get it in one JSON\u00a0call.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Example API\u00a0Call<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s how simple it is to pull Apple\u2019s\u00a0data:<\/p>\n

curl -X GET “https:\/\/eodhd.com\/api\/fundamentals\/AAPL.US?api_token=YOUR_API_KEY&fmt=json”<\/p>\n

The response? A clean JSON with everything you\u00a0need:<\/p>\n

{
“General”: { “Code”: “AAPL”, “Name”: “Apple Inc” },
“Highlights”: { “MarketCapitalization”: 3003400323072, “PERatio”: 30.66 },
“Balance_Sheet”: { “totalAssets”: 331495000000.00, “totalLiab”: 265665000000.00 },
…
}<\/p>\n

How to Connect EODHD to Google Sheets with\u00a0n8n<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s how I built my workflow:<\/p>\n

1. Get Your EODHD API\u00a0Key<\/h4>\n

Sign up at\u00a0EODHD.<\/a>Copy your API key from the dashboard.<\/p>\n

2. Create a New Workflow in\u00a0n8n<\/h4>\n

Log into\u00a0n8n.Click New Workflow<\/strong> and name it (I used \u201cEODHD Fundamentals\u201d).n8n workflow with EODHD API + Google\u00a0sheet<\/p>\n

3. Add an HTTP Request\u00a0Node<\/h4>\n

Add a new node: HTTP\u00a0Request<\/strong>.Configure:Method<\/strong>: GETURL<\/strong>: https:\/\/eodhd.com\/api\/fundamentals\/AAPL.US<\/a>Query Parameters<\/strong>:api_token: YOUR_API_KEYfmt: jsonClick Execute Node<\/strong>\u200a\u2014\u200ayou\u2019ll see the JSON response with all the company\u00a0data.<\/p>\n

You will start getting all the\u00a0data<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Add a Google Sheets\u00a0Node<\/h4>\n

Add a Google Sheets<\/strong>\u00a0node.Connect it to your Google\u00a0account.Set it to Append<\/strong> so new rows are added automatically.Map the fields you care about (e.g., Date, Market Cap, PE Ratio, Revenue\u00a0TTM).<\/p>\n

5. Automate Financial reports<\/h4>\n

Add a Cron<\/strong> node to schedule updates (daily, weekly,\u00a0etc.).Activate the workflow.<\/p>\n

Now, every day your Google Sheet updates automatically with fresh\u00a0data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why This Setup Changed Everything for\u00a0Me<\/h3>\n

This workflow saved me hours every week.
Instead of collecting data, I spend my time analyzing it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about having data\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s about having it when it matters\u00a0most.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And because it\u2019s automated, I can scale. Want to track 50 companies? Just duplicate the node, change the ticker, and you\u2019re\u00a0done.<\/p>\n
