API Documentation

Welcome to the marketstack API documentation! In the following series of articles you will learn how to query the marketstack JSON API for real-time, intraday and historical stock market data, define multiple stock symbols, retrieve extensive data about 70+ stock exchanges, 170.000+ stock tickers from more than 50 countries, as well as 750+ market indices, information about timezones, currencies, and more.

Our API is built upon a RESTful and easy-to-understand request and response structure. API requests are always sent using a simple API request URL with a series of required and optional HTTP GET parameters, and API responses are provided in lightweight JSON format.

Getting Started

API Authentication

For every API request you make, you will need to make sure to be authenticated with the API by passing your API access key to the API's access_key parameter. You can find an example below.

Example API Request:

https://api.marketstack.com/v1/eod
    ? access_key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
    & symbols = AAPL

Important: Please make sure not to expose your API access key publicly. If you believe your API access key may be compromised, you can always reset in your account dashboard.

256-bit HTTPS Encryption Available on: Basic Plan and higher

If you are subscribed to the Basic Plan or higher, you will be able to access the marketstack API using industry-standard HTTPS. To do that, simply use the https protocol when making API requests.

Example API Request:

https://api.marketstack.com/v1

Are you a Free Plan user and looking to connect via HTTPS? You will need to upgrade your account to the Basic Plan.

API Errors

API errors consist of error code and message response objects. If an error occurs, the marketstack will return HTTP status codes, such as 404 for "not found" errors. If your API request succeeds, status code 200 will be sent.

For validation errors, the marketstack API will also provide a context response object returning additional information about the error that occurred in the form of one or multiple sub-objects, each equipped with the name of the affected parameter as well as key and message objects. You can find an example error below.

Example Error:

{
   "error": {
      "code": "validation_error",
      "message": "Request failed with validation error",
      "context": {

            }
         ]
      }
   }
}

FAQ

Ensuring our customers achieve success is paramount to what we do at APILayer. For this reason, we will be rolling out our Business Continuity plan guaranteeing your end users will never see a drop in coverage. Every plan has a certain amount of API calls that you can make in the given month. However, we would never want to cut your traffic or impact user experience negatively for your website or application in case you get more traffic.

What is an overage?

An overage occurs when you go over a quota for your API plan. When you reach your API calls limit, we will charge you a small amount for each new API call so we can make sure there will be no disruption in the service we provide to you and your website or application can continue running smoothly.

Prices for additional API calls will vary based on your plan. See table below for prices per call and example of an overage billing.

Plan Name Monthly Price Number of Calls Overage Price per call Overage Total price
Basic $9.99 10,000 0.0014985 2000 $12.99
Professional $49.99 100,000 0.00074985 20,000 $64.99
Business $149.99 500,000 0.00044997 100,000 $194.99

Why does APILayer have overage fees?

Overage fees allow developers to continue using an API once a quota limit is reached and give them time to upgrade their plan based on projected future use while ensuring API providers get paid for higher usage.

How do I know if I will be charged for overages?

When you are close to reaching your API calls limit for the month, you will receive an automatic notification (at 75%, 90% and 100% of your monthly quota). However, it is your responsibility to review and monitor for the plan’s usage limitations. You are required to keep track of your quota usage to prevent overages. You can do this by tracking the number of API calls you make and checking the dashboard for up-to-date usage statistics.

How will I be charged for my API subscription?

You will be charged for your monthly subscription plan, plus any overage fees applied. Your credit card will be billed after the billing period has ended.

What happens if I don’t have any overage fees?

In this case, there will be no change to your monthly invoice. Only billing cycles that incur overages will see any difference in monthly charges. The Business Continuity plan is an insurance plan to be used only if needed and guarantees your end users never see a drop in coverage from you.

What if I consistently have more API calls than my plan allows?

If your site consistently surpasses the set limits each month, you may face additional charges for the excess usage. Nevertheless, as your monthly usage reaches a certain threshold, it becomes more practical to consider upgrading to the next plan. By doing so, you ensure a smoother and more accommodating experience for your growing customer base.

I would like to upgrade my plan. How can I do that?

You can easily upgrade your plan by going to your Dashboard and selecting the new plan that would be more suitable for your business needs. Additionally, you may contact your Account Manager to discuss a custom plan if you expect a continuous increase in usage.
