Backlog / Remaining Performance Obligations

GET/api/footnotes/backlog

Pro

Returns remaining performance obligations (RPO), the contracted revenue not yet recognized, the closest thing GAAP has to a bookings number, plus the share the filer expects to recognize within its disclosed window. Comparing RPO growth to revenue growth is the classic bookings-momentum signal for subscription and long-contract businesses.

Monetary values default to US dollars (currency parameter as on the statements endpoints, fx audit block, currency=original for as-filed). expectedShareInWindow is a fraction of 1 and never converted.

RPO per period

Response schema

array of:
  • period string (date)

    The fiscal period end date (YYYY-MM-DD)

  • fiscalYear integer
  • fiscalPeriod string (enum)

    Fiscal period of a reported value: `FY` (annual) or `Q1`-`Q4` (quarterly).

    Allowed values: FY, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4
  • currency string | null

    Currency of the RPO after conversion; null when unconverted (see `fx.unconverted`)

  • normalized boolean

    Only present (as `true`) when the share was re-scaled from a mis-tagged whole percent.

  • remainingPerformanceObligation number

    Total contracted revenue not yet recognized, at period end

  • expectedShareInWindow number

    Share of the RPO the filer expects to recognize within its disclosed window (fraction of 1). The window length itself is prose, not XBRL.

  • dateFiled string (date) | null

    SEC filing acceptance date of the newest filing contributing to this period. Use this to gate point-in-time data and avoid lookahead bias.

  • fx object

    Foreign-currency conversion audit for this period. Every monetary value in `facts` is in the requested `currency` (default **US dollars**). This block is absent when the period was already wholly in the target currency (e.g. a US filer with the default USD, nothing to convert). It is present when one or more line items were originally filed in a different currency and converted on the fly, and it records the exact rate(s) applied so the conversion can be reproduced. Rates come from the Frankfurter API (api.frankfurter.dev). Instant balance-sheet items use the spot rate at period end; flow income/cash-flow items use the day-weighted average rate over the period.

    • targetCurrency string

      The currency (ISO 4217) every `facts` value was converted INTO, the value of the request `currency` parameter (default USD). The literal `original` here means no conversion was requested: each fact stays in its as-reported currency (see `unconverted` for the per-fact mapping).

    • originalCurrencies array of string

      Every source currency (ISO 4217) that appeared in this period, the union of converted, unconverted, and already-in-target. The target currency itself is listed when some facts were natively in it (e.g. a foreign filer reporting some lines in USD alongside its converted local currency), so a mixed period reflects its true composition rather than appearing wholly converted.

    • rates array of object

      One entry per (source currency, method) actually applied. `rate` is the multiplier: `target = original * rate`.

      array of:
      • from string

        ISO 4217 source currency that was converted.

      • method string (enum)

        `spot` for instant balance-sheet items (rate at period end); `average` for flow income/cash-flow items (day-weighted mean over the period).

        Allowed values: spot, average
      • rate number

        Multiply the original-currency amount by this to get the `targetCurrency` amount.

      • effectiveDate string (date)

        Spot only: the date (YYYY-MM-DD) the applied rate was published (≤ period end).

      • start string (date)

        Average only: period start (YYYY-MM-DD).

      • end string (date)

        Average only: period end (YYYY-MM-DD).

    • unconverted map of string to array of string

      Facts that could NOT be converted (no published rate within tolerance, or an unsupported code/date), grouped by the currency they remain in: each key is a source ISO 4217 code, each value lists the curated fact names in `facts` still in that currency (NOT `targetCurrency`). Absent when everything converted. Use it to know exactly which figures to treat as native currency.

      • * (additional properties) array of string
