Free Market Data APIs

Thank you for your interest in using Barchart's Free API service. We have been happy to provide this free service to you for several years. Unfortunately, with increasing complexities around data licensing and increasing costs, we are no longer able to provide this service for free.

The last date of service for the free API is December 31, 2020. Below are several alternatives we hope you consider.

1. Barchart.com

Our flagship financial data website www.barchart.com offers several free options for data downloads as well as daily data reports sent via email. The following services are available with a free My Barchart registration: Historical Data Download, End-of-Day Reports and Watchlist Emails.

Barchart Premier offers even more, including extended Historical Data (up to 20-years), intra-day Watchlist & Portfolio Reports, unlimited Custom Views and Price Alerts, plus the ability to download data directly from Charts, such as Technical Studies as a time series. And very soon we are adding the ability to download historical equity option data. Barchart Premier starts at $29.95 per month with significant discounts for one-year and two-year subscriptions.

**You can learn more and sign-up for a free trial to Barchart Premier at www.barchart.com/my/barchart-premier.

2. Barchart Excel (New!)

For even more flexibility in accessing the data offered by Barchart.com, including the ability to add real-time data (the base package includes delayed and historical data), we have just launched Barchart Excel. Barchart Excel offers complete flexibility for market analysis and ease in downloading even more historical data (daily, minute and tick) across multiple symbols at the same time. Not only are your Barchart.com Watchlists and Portfolios automatically linked to Excel, you can access Barchart's leaderboards and lists for Stocks, Futures, ETFs and Currencies, access your Custom Views as well, and pull in Equity Options data, plus much more. Barchart Excel is $49.95/month.

To receive the special rate, you must sign-up by December 31, 2020. This rate is only available for non-commercial use (personal use) and subject to use case.

**To sign-up for the Barchart OnDemand special rate, please contact us at apisupport@barchart.com and include the following with your email: APIs required, exchanges required, data frequency (real-time, delayed, end-of-day, historical) and if the data is for personal or commercial use.
