Question 1

How does the Free plan work?

Accepted Answer

Sign up with no card and you’re on the Free plan for good. Mint an API key from the dashboard and make calls immediately, or paste the setup prompt and your agent connects over MCP: real-time data, all-time history, every column, 60 requests/minute, 10,000 calls per month. Upgrade to a paid plan when you want unlimited calls and higher rate limits; webhooks and streaming come with them. Cancel any time and you drop back to Free with your keys intact.

Question 2

What happens at the rate limit?

Accepted Answer

Rate limits are a rolling per-minute window. Requests over the cap return 429 rate_limit_exceeded with a Retry-After header. On Free, calls past the monthly quota return 402 monthly_quota_exceeded until the quota resets on the 1st. Paid plans have no monthly cap. Overage is never silently billed.

Question 3

How do I upgrade or downgrade?

Accepted Answer

From the dashboard, in one click. Mid-cycle changes are prorated.

Question 4

Do you offer annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes: 20% off on every paid plan.

Question 5

What if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You drop to the Free plan at the end of the paid period, with your keys intact. Universes and custom columns are preserved; webhooks are disabled until you resubscribe.

Question 6

Can I use it commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes: every plan, including Free, covers personal use, internal business use, and user-facing products that show Tickerbot data to your own users (an app, newsletter, or screener). Plans differ on throughput, not license. What requires an Enterprise agreement is redistributing the data itself: passthrough APIs, bulk export, resale, or repackaging Tickerbot data as a feed. See the Terms for what’s permitted.

Question 7

What does it cover?

Accepted Answer

Every US stock and ETF, plus FX, crypto, rates and metals: ~23,347 tickers as rows and 452+ data points as columns, from the raw data to what’s calculated from it to the conditions on top, refreshed every minute and historized back to 2003.

Question 8

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

We license market data from institutional-grade vendors: US equity prices, bars, live snapshots, reference data, financial statements, earnings, short interest, dividends, splits, IPOs, analyst ratings, ETF profiles, insider transactions, news, and crypto, FX and metals rates. Public sources add the rest: the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (SOFR, EFFR and the target range), the U.S. Treasury (the daily par yield curve), the LBMA (daily gold and silver fixings) and SEC EDGAR (company filings). Tickerbot builds every column in the table from those inputs.

Question 9

How fresh is the data?

Accepted Answer

Live columns refresh every minute from 4 AM to 8 PM ET, 24/7 for crypto. Fundamentals refresh daily; financial statements when issuers file. Cadence isn’t a tier lever; every plan gets the same refresh.

Question 10

What does “as of” mean?

Accepted Answer

Add ?asof= to a read and you get the table as it was on any past date: rerun a scan against the market as it was, with no look-ahead and no survivorship bias. It’s unlimited-depth on every plan, Free included. History is separate and also all-time on every plan: as-of rewinds a whole query; history fetches a ticker’s past values.

Question 11

Do you have an SDK?

Accepted Answer

For agents, the MCP server is the SDK: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP runtime use Tickerbot natively. Every endpoint is plain REST with an OpenAPI spec.
