Nice. I need a source API for short interest... ideas?

  From all the API's I've looked at IEX Cloud seems the most comprehensive with a generous free tier https://www.iexcloud.io https://www.iexcloud.io

    That looks really good even on paid plans. Anyone using? Reliable, accurate.. .?

      Came here to say this. It's great. I use it for my portfolio tracker - https://stockdaddy.io/ https://stockdaddy.io/ - it's quite powerful in terms of breadth of APIs and data available.

        Thanks - nice work with stockdaddy, just signed up. Can you configure the markets tab at the top (add in futures, UST 5yr for example)?
        • rcar1046 7y ago
          It's configurable - https://stockdaddy.io/dashboard/edit/ https://stockdaddy.io/dashboard/edit/ IEX is pretty good with the markets they give access to, so you should be able to find most symbols (or comparable) you're looking to track.

    You can get access to some of IEX's data for free with higher limits than IEX's free tier by opening an account with Alpaca. That gives you access to polygon.io as well, which doesn't limit API requests (Your API ID is used as the auth token for the polygon.io API).

      The thing with Alpaca and Polygon I think is that their most affordable plans are only for personal use I believe.
