Ask HN: What APIs exist to pull stock quotes

[itssho]

Last time I had to do this I used Yahoo... what do people use these days?

[shanecleveland]

Not sure of your end need, but if for personal, there’s some Google sheets formulas that will do this.

I've been using https://iexcloud.io/docs/api/ and it has been pretty good so far

[carmen_sandiego]

Interested in what other people suggest but e.g.:

  - Interactive Brokers
  - https://alpaca.markets/

(at totally opposite ends of the spectrum)

Depends on whether you only want US stocks, or worldwide. Many platforms are available for US (https://rapidapi.com/blog/best-stock-api/) but most do not provide data for European markets.

Robinhood has an API for this, as so 1700 python libraries. Did you even search before asking?
