A free, hosted financial data API covering 100k+ instruments across 8 asset classes. Get real-time and historical market data from 26 sources including Yahoo, Google, Nasdaq, TradingView, CNBC, CBOE, FINRA, CFTC, and more. Plus a free inference endpoint for cited finance answers.
Hey everyone. I’m launching a series of free data APIs for developers this week.
Today is the Financial Data API: a free, hosted API that unifies 26 financial data sources behind one interface. It covers much of what developers typically use libraries like yfinance for (real-time and historical market data, company fundamentals, filings, options, ETFs, commodities, rates, FX, indices, etc), without having to host your own infra. This and a lot more data that popular finance libraries do not cover.
It also includes a free inference endpoint, so you can ask finance questions and get source-backed answers in real-time.
If you have any questions about usage, rate limits, or anything else, let me know!
How are you guys managing Yahoo Finances' Rate Limits? Cool product tho, I already have an use case - one of the most requested offerings on Cohesivity right now is Financial data
So does this cover data for all countries or only the US?
That's a pretty cool concept. I was actually looking for something like this for one of my projects, I will definitely give it a try! One question tho, you said it's free but I can imagine the infrastructure it will require, so how are you managing that?
