Ask HN: Why does YC back Alpha Vantage?

2 pointsjzombie2 comments

Their API is not versioned, some of it is out of date, and they don't seem to respond to technical support requests after being a paying customer.

Seems like a lousy company to me.

My conclusion, if you use them, just stick to the free plan, because that's all it's good for.

Then don't use it?

YC backs questionable companies to the most fraudulent, but this is in the rates of less than 3% (1).

The best way for you to make this company better is to take your dollars else where.

Yep, that's exactly what I've done, and thanks for the article.
