Ask HN: What APIs exist to pull stock quotes

Last time I had to do this I used Yahoo... what do people use these days?

Not sure of your end need, but if for personal, there’s some Google sheets formulas that will do this.

I've been using https://iexcloud.io/docs/api/ and it has been pretty good so far

Interested in what other people suggest but e.g.:

  - Interactive Brokers
  - https://alpaca.markets/

(at totally opposite ends of the spectrum)

maybe a little overkill... https://www.strategic-options.com/insight/2020/05/17/update-...

Depends on whether you only want US stocks, or worldwide. Many platforms are available for US (https://rapidapi.com/blog/best-stock-api/) but most do not provide data for European markets.

IEX Cloud, Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, Polygon.io, Python yfinance package, Tradier, TwelveData, AlphaVantage

I haven't used this, but I've seen this posted here: https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal

https://github.com/dpguthrie/yahooquery https://www.alphavantage.co/

+1 to alphavantage

Quandl offers a nice API: https://www.quandl.com/tools/api

Personally, I use polygon https://polygon.io/

Robinhood has an API for this, as so 1700 python libraries. Did you even search before asking?
