Use Cases

Stock API Pricing Use Cases

Sample pricing simulations to help estimate Stock API usage across OHLCV, Level 2, and Level 3 workflows.

Stock API Pricing Use Cases

These use cases show how Stock API pricing can be estimated across common REST workflows.

Each example is based on a specific scenario to help customers understand data transfer, Usage Credits, Pay As You Go pricing, committed plans, and overages.

These examples are pricing simulations only. Actual usage may vary depending on the endpoint used, exchange, symbols, date range, response size, retries, compression, and daily usage volume.

Before using these estimates

Stock API pricing is based on the amount of trade, quote, or order book data transferred from our servers to the client.

Data transfer is measured in GB, and pricing tiers reset daily.

Daily data usagePay As You Go rate
Up to 32 GB/day$1.00 per GB
32 GB - 128 GB/day$0.50 per GB
128 GB - 512 GB/day$0.25 per GB
Above 512 GB/day$0.10 per GB

Committed plans reduce the effective cost by allowing customers to purchase Usage Credits at a lower price per Credit.

How to read the examples

Each use case includes:

  • The endpoint pattern
  • Example symbols
  • Estimated response size
  • Estimated daily or monthly data transfer
  • A Pay As You Go estimate
  • A comparison across committed usage plans
  • Caveats that may affect real-world usage
