June 17, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Stock exchange APIs provide real-time or historical data on financial assets being traded across different markets. You can use the data to generate technical indicators, which are the foundations for building trading strategies and monitoring the market.

With a multitude of free and paid APIs for stock exchange data currently available, finding the best ones can be challenging. But have no fear, help is at hand. Here are some of the best stock exchange data APIs for you to use.
