## Tiingo

- `data-apis/tiingo` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category market data API (US and Chinese stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, end-of-day prices, IEX, crypto, forex, news) | tier Starter
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-03T00:28:53.391Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-04
- url https://www.tiingo.com/about/pricing
- free tier: Starter plan USD 0/month: 50 requests per hour, 1000 requests per day, 500 unique symbols per month and 1 GB of bandwidth per month; 30+ years of end-of-day price history | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-10-31 | source: [1] | note: Hourly requests reset every hour, daily requests at midnight EST, and monthly bandwidth on the first of the month at midnight EST; there is no per-minute or per-second limit. The News API reaches 3 months of history. The Power plan is USD 30/month (or USD 300/year) for individuals with 10,000 requests per hour, 100,000 per day and 40 GB per month.
- per-object cap: not stated per call; 1 GB of bandwidth per month bounds the Starter plan | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable
- egress: 1 GB of API bandwidth per month on Starter, 40 GB on Power | metered: yes | free allowance: 1 GB per month | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: Every API call needs a token from an account. The registration form asks for a username, an email, a password entered twice and a terms checkbox, behind a Cloudflare Turnstile check; it has no card field. Card or PayPal is asked only when signing up for a paid plan.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): 50 requests per hour on Starter [1]
  - request-rate (binding): 1000 requests per day on Starter, reset at midnight EST [1]
  - volume-quota: 1 GB of bandwidth per month on Starter, reset on the first of the month [1]
- limits note: 500 unique symbols per month on Starter (no limits kind counts symbols). Bulk path: no bulk path for prices; supported_tickers.zip (805453 bytes, keyless) is a daily ticker list, not prices.
- binding note: Pulled steadily, the 1000 per day count binds before the 50 per hour; a burst meets the hourly 50 first.
- interface detail: GET https://api.tiingo.com/tiingo/daily/<ticker>/prices with the token as ?token= or an Authorization: Token header; JSON or CSV via format=; the documentation also describes a WebSocket API. A call with no token answered HTTP 403.
- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: curl or any HTTP client; supported_tickers.zip lists every ticker and is updated daily
- composes with: Deep end-of-day history (30+ years) at 1000 calls a day for up to 500 symbols a month; it pairs with FRED for macro series. Marketstack's US end-of-day prices are licensed from Tiingo.
- reliability: Past the hourly, daily or monthly bandwidth limit the API answers HTTP 429; an end-of-day call past the Starter unique-symbol limit answers HTTP 403.
- notes: The widest free end-of-day history of the market data records (30+ years at 1000 calls a day), against two caveats: 500 symbols a month and no persistent storage on Starter.
- evidence note: The Starter quotas, reset times, storage rule and registration fields are documented on the pricing, documentation and terms pages and in the site's own script bundle. Probes measured that a call with no token answers HTTP 403 and that supported_tickers.zip is served with no key. The 429 and 403 statuses are documented; the bodies and exact reset moments of the cut-offs need a token to measure (unverified: behind a sign-up).
- extras:
  - bulk_path: no bulk path for prices; supported_tickers.zip is a daily ticker list
  - history_depth: 30+ years of end-of-day prices; 3 months of news
  - cutoff_body_reported: Starter hourly limit, as shown in a third-party blog dated 2024-02-20: {'detail': 'Error: You have run over your hourly request allocation. Please upgrade at https://api.tiingo.com/pricing to have your limits increased.'}; the status of that answer is not in the source
