What is stock market data, and why do you need it?

Understanding stock market data is crucial for making informed investment decisions, eather you are implementing data to your coding project or using it in Excel and Google Sheets analysis. It provides insights into the performance of various assets, including stocks, indices, and currencies. With access to reliable financial data, investors can analyze market trends, identify opportunities, and mitigate risks effectively. Our Financial Data API offers a seamless way to access high quality market data, empowering users to make informed decisions and stay ahead in the competitive financial landscape.

Different types of stock market data

Stock market data, comprising Historical, Real-time, Intraday, and End of Day (EOD) data, is pivotal for investors & data analysts. Fundamental data reveals company financials, and alternative sources offer insights into market sentiment. Intraday data sheds light on price fluctuations during the trading day, while EOD data summarizes market activity at the close. Historical data provides insights into past market trends, while real-time data offers up-to-the-minute information crucial for timely decision-making. Plus to the data our API also offers useful tools such as Screener & Technical Indicators.

Getting stock market data using a web platform

Considered to be the least convenient method, obtaining stock market data through a web platform or an application involves navigating to the platform, specifying desired criteria such as date ranges and asset classes, and then accessing the data either through downloadable files or interactive charts and tables. As the market constantly evolves and data changes, it becomes very hard to track data updates.

Getting stock market data using an API

Utilizing an API straight away makes a developer’s life much easier, as from now on, the API provider is responsible for adapting to any data updates. To access stock market data, it entails integrating the API into your software environment, sending requests to the API specifying the required data parameters, and receiving the requested data in a structured format such as JSON or CSV files.

Getting stock market data in Excel or Google Sheets

A logical alternative to working with APIs, especially if you lack coding skills, is to implement financial data directly into Excel or Google Sheets. We provide both add-ons that retrieve the data, build charts, and don’t even require the use of formulas – all requests can be done in just a few clicks.

How to choose the best stock market data provider method

As there are various data providers in the market offering data via API, pay attention not only to pricing but also to the quality of data, the professionalism of the support team, and the convenience of Excel, Google Sheets, and other add-ons if they are offered. When choosing an Excel add-on, it’s important to understand if the app has a user-friendly interface, requires knowledge of writing Excel formulas, automatically builds charts, and which data can be accessed. The data we offer:
