I hope some major stock trading website can have api for 1. historical data 2. real-time data 3. trading api credit card usage/history data (only for myself) that is across all credit card brand.

tiingo.com has 1 & 2 (via IEX) and the prices (iirc) are not prohibitively expensive.

All my banks, credit cards, investment accounts, etc.

It will be forced in Europe soon. Banks will be obligated to provide an API.

Here are the data-related API's I wish existed: 1. Indeed.com - analytics on how many job ads mentioned a specific brand or keyword. 2. Yelp - analytics on how many checkins a restaurant or chain got every month. 3. Apple Store - analytics on how many downloads an app got every month. 4. Amazon Reviews - an API to retrieve reviews for a product. 5. Google Trends - API to retrieve historical trends for a keyword 6. Go…

For #1, it's not an API, but you may find this interesting: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/category-trends
