Interesting, you should save part of the data to do some caching and avoid api requests for old positions.

Thank you for the suggestion
Look now that the site loads, is it a bit sketchy that you are asking 50 dollars subscription, one can't even navigate the site a bit without subscribing. You don't even have a working and tested product and already want to make money.
The explore page is free and always will be. The main site shows real time changes too, just capped at a few recent ones. The $50 is for the full feed, alerts, search, comp data. Comparable to other sales intel tools but I hear you on letting people try more before paying. Gonna work on that.
Would you consider making a stale dataset (3day, 1 week, idk..?) available for other projects (but also protect your revenue stream?) I assume the value in the paid option would be real-time updates but I'm not sure exactly what the target consumer is
Yeah been thinking about that. A delayed public feed or an API with a lag makes sense. The real-time piece is where the paid value is so anything older than a few weeks/months could be opened up
