What is the default US stock market data?
Every subscription plan on Twelve Data provides access to real-time US stock market data. This data is sourced from venues that do not require additional licensing, representing approximately 5% of total US trading volume. It is available for both personal and commercial use without extra cost, though specific requirements apply depending on your intended usage.
Personal usage
For personal use, you can subscribe to any of our paid plans to access real-time US stock market data. There are no additional fees, but you must provide your legal name and address during registration for reporting purposes. This information might be shared with the relevant regulatory bodies as required. Providing inaccurate details or attempting to falsify information may result in immediate suspension of your service and potential penalties.
Commercial usage
For commercial use, the default real-time US stock market data (covering approximately 5% of trading volume) is included in all plans with no additional licensing required. However, if you need access to a broader scope of data, higher trading volumes, or enhanced features beyond the default offering, a separate licensing agreement with the appropriate data providers is necessary. Our support team is available to assist you through the process if needed. To get started, you can submit a request form through our platform to initiate the necessary arrangements.
What about historical data?
Historical data, also known as end-of-day (EOD) data, is available after the market closes each day. Unlike real-time data, it does not require additional licensing and is accessible starting with the Basic plan. This data encompasses 100% of US trading volume, aggregated from over 15 US stock exchanges, offering a comprehensive view of market activity.
