Profit.com Data API review
A broad financial data API with free access and paid personal-use plans from $16 monthly.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Profit.com Data API provides financial data for stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, indexes, funds, commodities and bonds. Its REST endpoints cover reference data, quotes, historical prices, fundamentals and filings; the documentation also describes WebSocket streaming for real-time crypto prices. This breadth suits individual developers and students who need multiple kinds of financial data through an API. Published plans specify personal-use rights, so organizations seeking broader commercial use should look elsewhere or clarify licensing before choosing it.
The published plans show a Free tier at $0 per month with standard support, and Pro at $16 per month or $192 per year with premium support. Scale is listed at $40 per month or $480 per year, also with premium support. All plans are marked for personal use. The pricing comparison does not make plan-specific feature or request limits clear, so buyers should check expected usage against plan terms. The API documentation states a ceiling of 30 calls per second in addition to plan limits; that ceiling is not a substitute for confirming the limits that apply to a selected tier.
Feature breadth is a notable fit for projects that combine market prices with company fundamentals, analyst recommendations, SEC filings, or earnings and dividend calendar data. Symbol and exchange reference data can be filtered by query, while historical coverage includes daily and intraday OHLCV. A key caveat is the vendor's warning that data sourced from market makers may not be real-time or match market prices, and is intended for analytics rather than trading. Choose Profit.com Data API for personal research or analytics where broad coverage and low entry cost matter; avoid relying on it for trading decisions or workloads that require guaranteed market-matching real-time data.
