Alpha Vantage

Market data API for stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency. Best for historical time-series (intraday to monthly), technical indicators (SMA, RSI, MACD), fundamental data, and earnings. Distinguishes itself from paid market-data vendors with broad global coverage and simple REST access via a single /query endpoint parameterized by function. 12 example endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Alpha Vantage API docs for full documentation.

Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.

This is a catch-all provider — any valid URL under https://www.alphavantage.co is supported. Alpha Vantage API. Construct URL as https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function={FUNCTION}&{params}. Example functions: TIME_SERIES_DAILY, GLOBAL_QUOTE, SYMBOL_SEARCH, CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE, DIGITAL_CURRENCY_DAILY, SMA, RSI, MACD, NEWS_SENTIMENT, OVERVIEW, EARNINGS, BALANCE_SHEET, INCOME_STATEMENT, CASH_FLOW. The apikey query param is added automatically. Lava slims long-history responses by default — fundamentals (BALANCE_SHEET / INCOME_STATEMENT / CASH_FLOW / EARNINGS) cap at 12 most-recent quarterly + 5 annual entries, time series and indicators cap at 100 most-recent dated points, NEWS_SENTIMENT caps at 20 articles. Override per call with filter._lava_max_quarters, _lava_max_annual, _lava_max_points, _lava_max_articles, or pass filter.mode=“full” for the raw payload. The endpoints below are curated examples.
