Multpl

multpl.com

Free, lightweight site for long‑term charts and tables of S&P 500 valuation metrics (P/E, Shiller CAPE, P/S, P/B, earnings yield), dividends/earnings/sales per share, US Treasury rates & real yields, CPI/inflation, GDP, population and income stats. Each page cites original sources (S&P Global, US Treasury, BLS, BEA, Robert Shiller). Historical series are typically monthly/quarterly; many pages show the current value with an end‑of‑day timestamp. Multpl does not advertise a first‑party API, but much of its curated data is available as the **MULTPL** database on **Nasdaq Data Link (formerly Quandl)** with REST/CSV/JSON access.
