We currently have a chart js + Alpha Vantage API examples. Alpha Vantage has limited their free API usage to 25 requests per day; which is insufficient for dev and testing during a hackathon event.
Hence, we need to see if there is an alternate financial data API service with a more reasonable free tier.
- marketstack.com -> 100 requests per month limit, which might get folks thru a hackathon, but then there is a good chance that the quota would get mostly depleted by the time they are done.
- twelvedata.com -> Current pricing is complicated, you get credits and credit usage varies depending on the endpoint; would need to call a URI on the end point to capture its pricing weight. The free tier gives 800 credits per day, which might be sufficient for dev work.
- iex.io -> complicated pricing
- finnhub.io -> personal use only; not suitable
