The Problem With Stock Data

Building anything finance-related usually means stitching together Yahoo Finance for quotes, another service for fundamentals, something else for insider transactions, and yet another feed for sentiment. Each has its own auth, rate limits, and response format. It adds up fast.

The Financial Markets Intelligence Platform API consolidates all of that behind one endpoint. It merges data from Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, Seeking Alpha, insider trading filings, and social sentiment sources into a single, normalized JSON response.

What You Get

Hit /api/stock-data with a ticker symbol and you get back:

Real-time price data — current price, day range, volume, 52-week high/low
Fundamentals — P/E ratio, EPS, market cap, dividend yield
Insider trading activity — recent buys and sells from company officers
Social sentiment signals — aggregated bullish/bearish indicators from retail investor communities

All in one response. No chaining calls, no normalizing schemas.

Quick Example

Here's how to pull full intelligence on Apple stock:

const response = await fetch(
  'https://stock-market-intel-api-production.up.railway.app/api/stock-data?symbol=AAPL&includeFundamentals=true',
  {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
      'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'financial-markets-intelligence-platform.p.rapidapi.com'
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();

console.log(`${data.symbol}: $${data.price}`);
console.log(`P/E: ${data.fundamentals?.peRatio}`);
console.log(`Insider activity: ${data.insiderTrades?.length} recent trades`);
console.log(`Sentiment: ${data.sentiment?.overall}`);

Set includeFundamentals to false if you only need price action — it keeps the response lean.
