The link
Every answer ends with More: <link>, and REST returns the same URL as link: the fundalyze.ai page where the figures can be checked (here, fundalyze.ai/stocks/nasdaq/nvda). Cite it when you show the data to others, as the attribution rules ask.
Errors
A bad parameter is a 400 naming it, an unknown ticker a 404, a busy key or a used-up day a 429. Every status and message: Errors.
