EODHD APIs
Hosted market data API for global prices and fundamentals
What it is
A commercial market data service delivered as a hosted API rather than a library you run yourself. It provides end-of-day and intraday prices, fundamentals, dividends and splits, news and other datasets across global exchanges through REST and WebSocket endpoints, with an official Python SDK. Developers and individual quants who have outgrown free scraping libraries and want one documented source for several markets are the natural audience. The free plan is small, a fixed number of API calls per day, so it is enough to test a pipeline but real use means a paid plan.
