# Analyst consensus for a company — EPS / revenue estimates per horizon and the buy / hold / sell split. Returns a normalized Estimates object.

`POST /v2/ops/finance.estimates`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.agentkey.app`
- URL: `https://api.agentkey.app/v2/ops/finance.estimates`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Symbol forms as in finance.quote. yfinance fills both the recommendation counts and the per-horizon estimates; Finnhub (US fallback) fills only the recommendation counts, so periods is null there.

Fixed price: 0.1 credits per successful call, whichever provider serves it.

## Request body

- object
  - `fields` string[]: Projection: keep only these dotted paths of data, e.g. ["items.id", "items.text"].
  - `include_raw` boolean: Attach the raw upstream payload as `raw` (not a stable contract; truncated above 256 KB).
  - `provider` string: Shorthand for routing.only = [provider].
  - `routing` Routing: Provider routing override. order: try these providers first; only: restrict to these (equivalent to pinning); allow_fallbacks: false tries only the first eligible provider.
    - `allow_fallbacks` boolean: false = try only the first eligible provider.
    - `only` string[]: Restrict to these providers.
    - `order` string[]: Providers to try first, in order.
    - `strategy` 'auto': How eligible providers are ordered. auto = the method's curated order. fastest / stable / popular are specified but not implemented yet (400 until then). The price is fixed whatever the strategy; mutually exclusive with order.
  - `symbol` string, required: Ticker: AAPL, 0700.HK.
