API calls are the core metric that defines how often you can access Finazon API. This includes but is not limited to requests to reference, price, aggregates, fundamentals, and other endpoints. And thanks to the flexibility of API, each request consumes only one API call. At the start of each minute, the limit will be reset for options with limit (10, 100, 700, 1500, 3500 and 9000 API calls).
Selecting the right amount of API calls largely depends on the intended usage. For instance, simple portfolio tracking applications require fewer requests, while the brokerage terminal has progressive demand and will require unlimited API calls. It’s also possible to make fewer API requests while in the development stage and switch to higher limits in production mode.
Price endpoints
With API calls, you can make time series requests that include up to 1,000 most recent records for a given interval. If you require a greater depth of data, you can select an additional rate of historical API calls. And all other endpoints that include prices are requested without any limit.
Reference endpoints
You can access any reference endpoint, for instance, ticker list, exchange list, market status, and conditions. Finazon encourages you to refresh them daily as new information gets populated.
