Anyone know of a decent (doesn't have to be realtime) stock API for stocks? I didn't find any under the finance category besides one crypto related.

for basic high-low-open-close daily data, I like yfinance for daily data and polygon.io for minute by minute data

I'm glad to see https://isevenapi.xyz/ made the list.

What I really want is isoddapi.xyz. Just like the npm package, all it should do is call isevenapi.xyz and invert the result.

I'd like to see isfizzbuzz.xyz.

Ideally, before 11:30 AM ET this Friday.

Paraphrasing a known saying, "there's no API, it's just someone else's computer". I wish programmers would internalize this. They often seem to take APIs uncritically, not questioning whose resources they're using and where does the data come from as well as its quality beyond obvious cases. APIs are leaky abstractions as all abstractions are.

API doesn't mean someone's else's computer.

But all the APIs in this collection of free public APIs are on someone else's computer.

Hence testing them daily to see if the someone else is still offering them.
