get-stock-quoteLABSCO 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.
What it is
A market data server over the Alpha Vantage API, covering equities, ETFs, cryptocurrency and options.
What you get
- Real-time stock quotes with price, volume and change
- Company information including sector, industry and market cap
- Historical price series for a symbol
- Crypto exchange rates with bid and ask, plus daily and weekly series
- Real-time options chains with Greeks and implied volatility
- Historical options chains with filtering and sorting
- ETF profiles with holdings, sector allocation and key metrics
- Rate-limit handling built in, which matters on the free API tier
Requirements
An Alpha Vantage API key in ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY — the free tier works. Runs in a Docker image you build from a clone of the repository, or locally with uv.
Setup effort
Run a container — build the image from the repository, then point your client at it
USE CASES
01
Checking where a stock is right now
Pull the quote with price, volume and change instead of switching to a broker tab.
02
Reading up on a company before you buy it
Get the company profile — sector, industry, market cap — alongside its price history.
03
Looking at an options chain for a position
Pull the live chain with Greeks and implied volatility, then compare it against the historical chain.
04
Tracking a crypto pair
Read the current exchange rate with bid and ask, then the daily or weekly series behind it.
05
Seeing what an ETF actually holds
Pull the profile with holdings and sector allocation rather than trusting the fund's name.
