Pricing FAQ
Why are real-time signals delayed for 48 hours in the free tier?
Our pipeline extracts time-sensitive geopolitical, regulatory, and supply-chain shifts. Instant data gives algorithmic models and quantitative funds a tactical advantage. Free accounts access the data as a delayed feed.
How do I access the programmatic API?
Once you subscribe to the Premium Developer tier, you will receive a secure API key in your terminal dashboard. You can pass this key as a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header to query all endpoints programmatically.
Can I request tracking for custom companies?
Yes. Premium subscribers can use the "Add Entity" button in the Terminal or hit the `POST /api/entities` endpoint directly. Our engine will dynamically resolve the details via OpenFIGI and set up tracking.
Can I add my own custom sources and documents?
Yes. Premium Developer accounts unlock the global Sources Manager. You can register custom RSS feeds, scrape public URLs, or upload unstructured HTML/PDF permit/shipping documents to run extraction templates tailored specifically for your target entities.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions can be canceled at any time directly through the Stripe Customer Billing Portal. Your premium developer keys will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle.
All transactions are securely processed via Stripe. Alternative macroeconomic signals compile unstructured files for discovery and analytics; scores represent mathematical calculations and not final investment recommendations.
