Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I exceed my daily API quota?

Quotas are daily and reset at 00:00 UTC. On Trader Pro, Quant & Community and Enterprise your access is never interrupted: each request beyond the included daily volume is billed at your plan's overage rate ($0.002, $0.001 and $0.0005 per request). Hobbyist is hard-capped at 500 requests per day and is never billed.

Which endpoints and how much history does each plan include?

Plans unlock in a staircase. Hobbyist covers quotes, candles (1 year daily / 30 days intraday), movers and ticker search. Trader Pro adds company fundamentals and corporate actions, technical indicators, ETF profiles and WebSocket streaming, with 5 years daily / 90 days intraday. Quant & Community adds options chains, Greeks and the options screener with unlimited (15+ years) history. Enterprise adds 800+ macroeconomic and commodity series. Endpoints outside your plan return 403, and longer candle ranges are truncated to your plan's depth.

How do I connect Claude, Cursor or OpenCode to ApexTick?

Register https://api.apextick.com/mcp as a remote MCP server and send your API key in the apikey header. Hobbyist includes get_quote; Trader Pro adds analyze_ticker, explain_price_move and get_watchlist_brief; Quant & Community and Enterprise add screen_market, which reads the options screener. Your client only lists the tools your plan includes.

How do I get support?

All support is asynchronous by email: technical and account questions go to support@apextick.com and billing questions to billing@apextick.com. We don't offer phone or video calls. We typically reply within 1 business day, with priority handling for Quant & Community and Enterprise plans.

How do I verify that an alert webhook came from ApexTick?

Every webhook carries X-ApexTick-Signature: t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>, an HMAC-SHA256 of "<t>.<body>" keyed with the signing secret returned once when you create the alert. Recompute it on receipt and reject stale timestamps.

When are community briefings delivered?

The pre-market briefing goes out at 08:30 ET and the closing bell digest at 16:30 ET on every NYSE trading day. Full-day market holidays are skipped automatically, early-close days still receive both, and each briefing is delivered exactly once.

Where does your data come from?

ApexTick aggregates, normalizes, and serves data from a proprietary blend of institutional feeds, SIPs, and direct exchange connections. Our ultra-low latency architecture ensures you receive this data with sub-millisecond routing overhead.

Do you offer real-time data?

We provide Active Intraday Pricing and Consolidated Market Snapshots designed for heavy quantitative workloads, backtesting, and algorithmic execution. While our WebSocket feeds are highly dynamic, we do not market our feeds for sub-second NBBO High-Frequency Trading (HFT) arbitrage.
