What it does
The Twelve Data API gives prices and history for stocks, forex and crypto, for example to chart a share. Requests are GET calls with an apikey parameter, and the answers are JSON or CSV. Free with a free API key for 8 requests a minute and 800 a day, for internal use. An official MCP server (github.com/twelvedata/mcp) lets AI agents read the market data.
