Summary
In this chapter, we have covered a few of the most popular sources of financial data. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Below, you can find a list of other interesting data sources that might suit your needs even better.
Additional data sources are:
- IEX Cloud (https://iexcloud.io/)—a platform providing a vast trove of different financial data. A notable feature that is unique to the platform is a daily and minutely sentiment score based on the activity on Stocktwits—an online community for investors and traders. However, that API is only available in the paid plan. You can access the IEX Cloud data using
pyex, the official Python library. - Tiingo (https://www.tiingo.com/) and the
tiingolibrary. - CryptoCompare (https://www.cryptocompare.com/)—the platform offers a wide range of crypto-related data via their API. What stands out about this data vendor is that they provide order book data.
- Twelve Data (https://twelvedata.com/).
- polygon.io (https://polygon.io/)—a trusted data vendor for real-time and historical data (stocks, forex, and crypto). Trusted by companies such as Google, Robinhood, and Revolut.
- Shrimpy (https://www.shrimpy.io/) and
shrimpy-python—the official Python library for the Shrimpy Developer API.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to preprocess the downloaded data for further analysis.
