About this API

1Forge is a relatively niche financial data API, positioning itself as "real-time quotes affordable for individual traders and small financial app developers". vs. giants like Bloomberg, Refinitiv (Thomson Reuters) with $10k/month institutional APIs, 1Forge costs tens to hundreds per month for real-time data. Coverage: 750+ forex pairs, 500+ US stocks, mainstream crypto. WebSocket pushes real-time ticks; REST pulls quotes. Quality is sufficient for app display and algo strategy input, but high-frequency trading still needs more professional sources (millisecond latency differences are fatal). Free 3-day trial.
