A sample FinFeed Flat Files pricing simulation for downloading OHLCV 1SEC data through the S3-compatible API.
Use Case: OHLCV 1SEC Data for Focused IEXG Analysis
This example estimates the cost of downloading OHLCV 1SEC Flat Files for IEXG over a focused short-term analysis period.
Assumptions
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Product | FinFeed Flat Files |
| Dataset | OHLCV |
| Period | 1SEC |
| Exchange | IEXG |
| Time range | 5 trading days |
| Files | 5 daily files |
| Estimated total size | 5,000 MB / 5.00 GB |
| Request scenario | 1 LIST + 5 HEAD + 5 GET |
This is a hypothetical sizing example. Actual OHLCV 1SEC file sizes can vary by exchange, trading activity, symbols included, and selected dates.
Example S3 path:
| Purpose | Example path |
|---|---|
| List files | s3://finfeedapi/E-IEXG/T-OHLCV+TP-1SEC/ |
| Download one daily file | s3://finfeedapi/E-IEXG/T-OHLCV+TP-1SEC/D-20260102.csv.gz |
Pricing
| Component | Rate |
|---|---|
| OHLCV 1SEC data transfer | 0.10 credits per MB |
| GET to OHLCV data type | 250 credits per 1,000 GET calls |
| LIST / HEAD calls | 10 credits per 1,000 calls |
Estimated usage
Data transfer:
5,000 MB × 0.10 credits = 500.00 credits
GET calls:
5 GET ÷ 1,000 × 250 credits = 1.25 credits
LIST and HEAD calls:
6 calls ÷ 1,000 × 10 credits = 0.06 credits
Total estimated usage:
500.00 + 1.25 + 0.06 = 501.31 credits
Plan comparison
| Plan | Price per Credit | Monthly cost | Included credits | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | $1.00/Credit | No commitment | N/A | $501.31 |
| Committed 64 | $0.85/Credit | $64 | ~75.29 credits | $490.02 |
| Committed 256 | $0.75/Credit | $256 | ~341.33 credits | $415.98 |
| Committed 512 | $0.70/Credit | $512 | ~731.43 credits | $512.00 |
| Committed 1024 | $0.65/Credit | $1,024 | ~1,575.38 credits | $1,024.00 |
Result
For this sample, Committed 256 has the lowest estimated cost.
Committed 512 fully covers the estimated usage, but Committed 256 is still lower in this scenario because the remaining usage after the included credits is billed as overage.
Caveat
Actual usage depends on exact file size, selected dates, exchange activity, request pattern, retries, and whether the download tool performs extra LIST, HEAD, or multipart GET requests.
