What’s in the universe?
~13,433 US equities (NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX) plus the top 100 cryptos by market cap, recomputed every minute — the full universe on every plan. Cryptos carry the same flag vocabulary and signals as equities.
How fresh is the data?
Live signals refresh every minute during US market hours, 24/7 for crypto. Fundamentals refresh daily; financial statements when issuers file. Cadence isn’t a tier lever — every plan gets the same refresh.
Do you have an SDK?
REST API only today; SDKs for Python, Node, and Go are on the roadmap. For agents, install our MCP server — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP runtime use Tickerbot natively, no SDK needed.
How does the Free plan work?
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 — real-time data, all-time history, all signals, 60 requests/minute, 10,000 calls per month. Upgrade to a paid plan when you want unlimited calls, real-time webhooks — pushed the moment a query matches — websocket streaming, or higher throughput; cancel a paid plan any time and you drop back to Free with your keys intact.
What happens at the rate limit?
Requests over the per-minute 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.
What if I cancel?
You drop to the Free plan at the end of the paid period — your keys keep working at Free limits (60 req/min, 10,000 calls/mo, no webhooks and no websocket streaming). Universes and custom signals are preserved; webhooks are disabled — resubscribe to re-enable them.
How do I upgrade or downgrade?
From the dashboard, in one click. Mid-cycle changes are prorated.
Do you offer annual billing?
Yes — 20% off on every paid plan. Rate limits are a rolling per-minute window.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes — every plan, including Free, covers personal use, internal business use, and user-facing products that show Tickerbot data or signals 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.
