Stock Quotes API
Live stock quotes as an API — the current price of any listed equity or ETF, served from Yahoo Finance. For any ticker it returns the current price, the previous close, the absolute and percentage change on the day, the day's high and low, the 52-week high and low, the trading volume and the listing exchange and currency. Look a stock up by ticker or by company name, pull a batch of tickers in a single call for a watchlist, or search for a company to find its symbol. Works for US and international equities and ETFs. The live equity-quote layer for trading, portfolio and dashboard apps. Live, no key, no cache. Distinct from index constituent-directory APIs (which list the members of an index) — this returns the live quote, not the member list.

Advice Slip API
Short pieces of advice via the open Advice Slip API — no key. The random endpoint returns a random advice slip; the advice endpoint fetches a specific slip by its id; and the search endpoint finds slips containing a phrase. Each slip carries its id and advice text. Real advice, with id lookups cached for speed — no key. 4 endpoints. Ideal for daily-advice widgets, chatbots, fortune-cookie features, loading screens and onboarding delight.
