Alpha Vantage delivers a free API for real time financial data and most used finance indicators in a simple json or pandas format. This module implements a python interface to the free API provided by Alpha Vantage. You can have a look at all the API calls available in their API documentation. For code-less access to the APIs, you may also consider the official Google Sheet Add-on or the Microsoft Excel Add-on by Alpha Vantage. To get data from the API, simply import the library and call the object with your API key. Next, get ready for some awesome, free, realtime finance data. Your API key may also be stored in the environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY. The library supports giving its results as json dictionaries (default), pandas dataframe (if installed) or csv, simply pass the parameter output_format='pandas' to change the format of the output for all the API calls in the given class.
