We are working to profile more market data APIs for inclusion in the Streamdata.io API Gallery, and as we prepare new entries, we like to also introduce them to our users via the Streamdata.io blog. Along with the addition of each API entry, we are looking for other interesting stories, tools, visualizations, and resources we can share with the Streamdata.io community. After profiling the currency API 1Forge the other day, we wanted to move on to a wider source of market data from the folks at Alpha Advantage
