DataAcuity Markets

Stock prices, crypto, and FX rates — refreshed daily, free from Yahoo lock-outs.

We fetch market data from independent free sources (CoinGecko, stooq.com, fawazahmed0/currency-api) and cache it in our warehouse. You get one clean API, one ZAR-billed subscription, and we deal with the providers.

What this is not

Not real-time. Daily refresh after market close. If you need millisecond ticks, you need a paid feed — we'll point you at one.
Not (yet) Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Our free upstream doesn't carry JSE. We will add JSE when an enterprise customer pays for the data licence.
Not a brokerage. We give you data, not order routing. For execution you want a broker.

End-of-day markets for ZAR-billed apps

Free tier covers 1,000 calls per day — plenty for a dashboard.
