Markets by Vikram

Data Sources

Every number on this site comes from a free, public API — no paid data vendor, no scraping.

Crypto

CoinGecko — no API key required. Prices, 24-hour change and 7-day sparklines for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP.

Macro indicators

FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) — free API key. Series tracked: DGS10, DGS2, UNRATE, CPIAUCSL, BAMLH0A0HYM2.

Stocks & indices

Alpha Vantage — free API key, capped at 25 requests/day. Quotes and company overviews for a curated universe: NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, META, TSLA, JPM plus SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM.

Because of that 25-request daily cap, quotes are cached for 24 hours and full company overviews for 7 days across the whole site — regardless of how many visitors load a page, this stays well under budget. It means prices here can lag real-time by up to a day.

Filings

SEC EDGAR — free, no key required, for the same curated stock universe.
