Historical key ratios for companies

Is there any convenient way to get key ratios over time for companies? A good API perhaps? When using Yahoo finance I managed to get the latest key ratios but not historical values. I can't find a way to do that. Can somebody please give some advice? FYI: I'm using python.

You have several ways to get these key ratios:

  • Using Eikon or Bloomberg API's (but none for python from my knowledge) if you could have access to an authenticated account
  • Downloading historical ratios from WolframAlhpa (MSFT Example),
  • Or downloading key ratios from MorningStar (Coca-Cola Example) with 10 years of historical data

I hope it will help

I haven't used it much myself, but quandl looks pretty cool. You can pull stuff directly into Python, R, Excel, Matlab, and a bunch of other environments with an api that retrieves csv, xml, or json. Makes it look pretty easy for some problems.
