FINVIZ Screener: Coverage, Access & Export Checklist

Documented research workflow

Fundamental and technical screening with multiple views and filters.

Access and package boundaries

Free and registered screening use delayed quotes; the official comparison reserves export/API and real-time screening for Elite.

What to verify

An Elite data entitlement is not permission to redistribute data. Confirm exchange coverage, quote timing and saved-screen/export limits in the selected package.

A practical acceptance task

Reproduce a small valuation screen, inspect quote timestamps, and compare the available export controls in the actual tier before planning a recurring workflow.

Keep the research reproducible

Record the universe, active filters, financial period, quote timing and source version. Re-run a small example before replacing an existing research process. A result count can change as data updates or the available universe changes.

Separate selection from performance

A screen narrows a source dataset. It does not establish a causal explanation, a diversified allocation or a historical return. Inspect filings, fund documents, liquidity and the suitability of the underlying research question before using the output.
