Free stock market API
A free stock market API that grows with your project
Prototype on the free tier and pay only for what you use in production. MarketAPI is a free market price API for stocks, indices, forex, metals and crypto. It returns clean JSON that's easy to use from any language.
What the free tier includes
- 1000 free credits when you confirm your email. That's about 1000 latest-price lookups, worth $1.
- The same JSON format as the paid API, so moving up to your own key changes nothing in your code.
Example
curl "https://api.marketapi.app/v1/free/prices/latest?symbols=EURUSD,XAUUSD"
When to upgrade
Use an API key when you need higher limits, tick history, OHLC bars, market status for many tickers, or WebSocket streaming. Pricing stays usage-based: 1 credit per ticker for latest prices and 1 credit per 1000 rows of history.
Data source and coverage
Prices come from a professional broker data feed. Coverage depends on the feed and includes stock CFDs and indices where offered. Check the ticker list before you build.
Start in two minutes
1000 free credits after email confirmation. After that, $1 per 1,000 credits, with no subscription.
