Alpha Vantage

Financial market data API for stocks, forex, crypto, technical indicators, fundamentals, and economic data.

Covers market and economic data for stocks, forex, crypto, technical indicators, and financial fundamentals.

Example Use Cases

These are the Alpha Vantage actions Snow can use when building apps with you. 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.

Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Tool to fetch monthly and semiannual Consumer Price Index (CPI) data of the United States. Use when you need inflation metrics or CPI historical data.

Crypto Intraday Time Series

Tool to retrieve intraday time series data for cryptocurrencies with realtime updates. Use when you need high-frequency OHLCV data (open, high, low, close, volume) for a specific cryptocurrency/market pair within the trading day.

Currency Exchange Rate

Tool to retrieve real-time exchange rate for a currency pair. Use after confirming base and quote currency codes to get current rates. Rate is nested at response

Digital Currency Daily Time Series

Tool to retrieve daily historical time series for a digital currency traded on a specific market. Use when needing daily OHLC and volume data for a crypto/fiat pair, refreshed daily at midnight UTC.

Federal Funds Rate

Tool to fetch daily, weekly, and monthly federal funds rate data of the United States. Use when you need historical interest rate data from the US Federal Reserve for economic analysis.

FX Intraday Time Series

Tool to retrieve intraday OHLC time series for a forex pair at 1-60 minute intervals (premium endpoint). Use when you need minute-bar FX data for backtesting or monitoring. Note: This is a premium Alpha Vantage function; check entitlement if errors occur.

FX Weekly Time Series

Tool to get weekly time series (open, high, low, close) for a currency pair. Use when you need weekly FX rates. Results are reverse-chronological; sort ascending and cast OHLC string values to numeric before computing indicators. The most recent entry may represent an incomplete week — treat its high, low, and close as provisional until the week closes.

Get Dividend History

Tool to retrieve historical dividend payment records for a stock symbol. Use when you need dividend dates and amounts for analyzing company distributions.
