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!

@samuel_crombie Covering 100k+ instruments across multiple asset classes is impressive, especially with both market data and cited finance answers in one platform. How do you handle discrepancies when different sources report slightly different values for the same instrument, and what determines which source becomes the "truth" for the API response?

@nicole_hynek This is a good question. You'll see that the API returns a consolidated answer along with the sources that were used and the data from each one. The tl;dr for certain types of data like opening/closing price, financials, etc: these are relatively stable across sources, but you can choose to use / recombine the different sources however you want.
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

@arag_agrawal We fan out requests to give you higher rate limits about ~10x what you'd get from one client. Let me know if you end up using!
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?

@sumitgautam0101 Let me know how it works out! As for the cost, it is honestly relatively inexpensive. I'm interested in analyzing usage + helping people find use cases for the time being, which I think requires high rate limits 🙂
This is cool @samuel_crombie , upvoted :)
So does this cover data for all countries or only the US?

@aiswarya_s Thank you Aiswarya! It covers US and select Canada and EU. Is there a region you were looking for?
