I work on the team at the Investors Exchange that built this API. We think financial data should be more accessible.

So I was really excited to use this API. Documentation looks, good and simple to use. But then I ran across this:

---> • Historical data is only available for prior months, starting with January 2014

Hopefully they will update this.

As of right now I have only found eTrade provides historical data, and you have to apply for that data.

Thanks for checking out the API and for your compliment on our docs. Our historical data is currently limited to IEX, but we have a major update coming out soon. We plan to include years of EOD data, fundamentals, financials, earnings, technical indicators, and company info. All for free.
Very interesting, thanks! Out of curiosity, how soon is "soon" for the expanded data? If you're able to say whether it will be this/next quarter, or this/next year that would be interesting.
This looks great, too bad the historical data goes back only to 2014...
Thanks for checking out the API.
Is this project free for commercial usage?
Yep.
thumbs up. will try using it.
