Are there any decent APIs for UK data, by the way?
- sexy_year 2y agoNot really. We have the OpenBB Platform CLI, a command line interface (CLI) that allows users to access a lot of financial data but needs to bring each API key. The reason why this works is that once you run the CLI, you are running it on your machine and leveraging your own API keys - which, when you subscribe you sign for Terms and Conditions. And, in it, it usually states that you cannot use the data for any commercial purpose. This is what most data vendors do. Not only because they are trying to upsell you but because giving you access to data costs them money. So, most of the APIs that you find that are free and have the rights to distribute that data are usually from governments (e.g. FRED or Companies House https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/get-started https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/get-sta...)
