  • Pull historical OHLCV data for a stock over a custom period and interval
  • Compare key financial metrics side-by-side for up to 10 stocks
  • Screen stocks by sector, market cap, P/E ratio, or dividend yield
  • Retrieve the latest options chain with calls and puts for a given expiration
  • Fetch recent news articles and analyst recommendations for a ticker
