Sorry everyone! And thank you! Due to high volume I am hitting my API limits. If you are getting a server error that is why. The limit resets ever minute so please wait and try again.

Consider caching your API results, and eventually upgrading to a paid tier to increase your API limits. Also, I should be able to enter a stock ticker on your website and see the corresponding model without needing to sign up.

Seems like you can do that already?

Hmm, I am getting a client error: https://www.useequityval.com/stockoverview?ticker=ULS

Always be mindful of this when submitting to HN. The real test of traffic surge. Right now, it is of not much use as it just gives server error.

No need to rain on their parade. As if they are not already now aware of this.

This caught out the current Show HN poster, so I imagine the comment could be useful to future Show HN posters.

Besides, the comment wasn't unkind to the present poster and is actually kind to future posters, so the admonishment and down-votes seem unwarranted.

My tip is to re-evaluate why you think you are getting downvoted to better understand your tone and wording rather than assume the downvotes are not warranted.

I'm not the one getting down-voted.

I m the one who got downvoted. I honestly was trying to help but I can see why my tone seemed a bit rude.

Haha yeah, I will have to upgrade my api limit. Thank you!
