[**The Analyst Ratings API**](https://finnworlds.com/financial-data/analyst-ratings-api/) by Finnworlds is now live for developers in the finance industry!

The extensive API provides **stock forecast and prediction data** for publicly traded stocks **as seen in published analyst ratings**. The analyst rating data includes forecasts about future stock prices with historical and current analyst ratings and recommendations by leading analysts in finance.

The Analyst Ratings API includes **more than 3000 analysts** and financial experts worldwide, known in their fields. For this, the Analyst Ratings API serves as a useful external data source that updates with each newly published analyst rating, without having to keep track of analyst rating data from multiple different databases and sources. With that advantage, you can now concentrate on developing your financial projects for stock price forecasts and building investment strategies or creating a platform for your clients for the same purpose.

Here are some client-favorite use cases for real-time and historical analyst rating data:

- **Calculate the rating accuracy of an analyst.** You can use the analyst stock forecast data to analyze the history of the stock price against forecasts. This also helps cover how well an analyst's consensus estimate for a stock turned out.

- **Rank analysts.** Fetch the stock forecasts and stock price predictions of analysts over time, and then contrast these with the current values. Based on historical data, compare analyst revenues and stock price estimates to determine if these analyst ratings are still relevant now.

- **Build new stock price goals, price projections, and follow recommendations accordingly.** You can build apps or tools on which your customers can keep track of the analysts they follow or prepare reports with actual analyst rating reports. Any changes or updates to stock ratings or revisions made by analysts are reflected in the data.

You can also access **real-time and historical buy-sell-hold ratings** from analysts via the Analyst Stock Forecast API. As soon as analysts publish new ratings and buy sell hold recommendations, our database updates the rating data for that analyst. Buy-sell-hold ratings, recommendations, and price forecasts from analysts **for the last 15+ years** are all aggregated in a single **JSON REST API**.

You can use the API to assess and decide on the future of your portfolio. View the changes and updates in the buy-sell-hold ratings data and make the most of the market opportunities.
