  title: FinancialFilings Filing Categories API
  version: 1.4.0
  description: 'Filings and company data for listed companies across the G20 and Europe. Send your API key in the `X-API-Key` header on every request. New here? Start with the quickstart.


    **Credits.** Every call costs credits, and each endpoint below shows its price. `X-Credits-Charged` on the response says what a call cost, and `GET /usage/` shows the month so far. A free account gets a monthly allowance. Webhooks are an Enterprise feature. Pricing: https://financialfilings.com/developers/


    **Rate limits.** Responses carry `X-RateLimit-Burst-Limit` (a rate such as `50/second`), `X-RateLimit-Monthly-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Monthly-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Monthly-Unit` (`requests` or `credits`). All four are strings and can be non-numeric (for example `Unlimited`); the last two are left out when they don''t apply.'
