Alpha Vantage

These are the Alpha Vantage actions available to the apps you build with Snow. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

• Analytics Sliding Window

  Tool to retrieve advanced analytics metrics with sliding window calculations for trend analysis. Use when you need to perform statistical analysis on stock price movements over time, such as calculating moving averages, standard deviations, variances, or correlations between multiple stocks. Ideal for technical analysis and identifying trends.

• Company Overview (Stocks Only)

  Tool to retrieve company overview and fundamental data for individual company stocks. Note: This endpoint only works for stocks, not ETFs, mutual funds, or indices. Use after specifying a valid stock ticker symbol. Numeric fields (e.g., MarketCapitalization, SharesOutstanding, Beta, DividendYield, PERatio) are returned as strings and may be empty — treat empty/missing values as null, not zero. Fundamentals such as Beta, PERatio, and PayoutRatio may reflect different reporting periods across symbols; avoid naive cross-symbol aggregation without aligning periods. Check the as-of date in the response; SharesOutstanding and similar fields can lag corporate actions. Alpha Vantage enforces per-minute and per-day rate caps; throttle requests when processing bulk symbol lists.
