Summary
Quotes, fundamentals and options detail from one key, with the rate limits handled for you.
The options coverage is what sets it apart from a quote lookup: chains come back with Greeks and implied volatility, and the historical version supports filtering and sorting, so a question about a position does not have to leave the conversation.
