How to get Investing.com data (quotes, history, economic calendar) in Python in 2026

#python #api #finance #javascript

Investing.com is one of the best free sources of market data: stocks, ETFs, forex, crypto, commodities, bonds, plus the economic calendar most traders keep open all day. The problem is that Investing.com has no public API, and DIY scrapers tend to break whenever the site changes.

I maintain an unofficial Investing.com Ultimate API on RapidAPI that returns this data as clean JSON. This post shows how to use it from Python and Node.js.

What you can get

Quotes & overview for stocks, ETFs, funds, indices, forex pairs, crypto, commodities, bonds and certificates
Historical prices (daily, weekly, monthly OHLC) with custom date ranges
Economic calendar filtered by country and importance, plus earnings, dividends, IPO, splits and market-holiday calendars
Company data: profile, financial statements, ratios, earnings, analyst forecasts
Technical analysis, market movers, news, and symbol search by ticker, ISIN or name
32 languages and price conversion to any currency

Setup

Get an API key on the RapidAPI listing.
Send two headers with every request:

X-RapidAPI-Key:  YOUR_KEY
X-RapidAPI-Host: investing-com-ultimate-api.p.rapidapi.com

Python

import requests

HOST = "investing-com-ultimate-api.p.rapidapi.com"
HEADERS = {"X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_KEY", "X-RapidAPI-Host": HOST}

def get(path, **params):
    r = requests.get(f"https://{HOST}{path}", headers=HEADERS, params=params, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()

# 1. Apple quote
print(get("/v2/stocks", symbol="AAPL", country="US"))

# 2. Apple daily prices since January 2025
print(get("/v2/stocks/historical", symbol="AAPL", country="US", **{"from": "2025-01-01"}))

# 3. This week's high-impact US economic events
print(get("/v2/calendars/economic", countries="US", importance="high"))

The v2 pattern is the same for every asset class: pick the asset (stocks, etfs, indices, currencies, crypto, commodities, bonds...), pass a symbol, and add country for stocks and ETFs. Append /historical, /technical or /news for more.

Node.js

const HOST = "investing-com-ultimate-api.p.rapidapi.com";

async function get(path, params = {}) {
  const url = `https://${HOST}${path}?${new URLSearchParams(params)}`;
  const res = await fetch(url, {
    headers: { "X-RapidAPI-Key": process.env.RAPIDAPI_KEY, "X-RapidAPI-Host": HOST },
  });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
  return res.json();
}

console.log(await get("/v2/currencies", { symbol: "EUR/USD" }));
console.log(await get("/v2/crypto/technical", { symbol: "BTC" }));
console.log(await get("/v2/markets/movers", { country: "US", type: "gainers" }));

Ideas for what to build

A trading bot or backtester fed with historical OHLC data
A Telegram/Discord bot that posts high-impact economic events before they hit
A portfolio tracker or stock screener
A macro dashboard combining the economic calendar with index and bond yields
