Financial Modeling Prep API: Quota Units, Coverage & Use Checklist

Data workflow

Historical prices, reference data and fundamental-data workflows, with plan-specific geography and history.

Documented quota and access

Basic lists 250 calls/day; the pricing page also identifies a trailing 30-day bandwidth allowance. Endpoint/history coverage varies by plan.

Use and display boundaries

The pricing page states that displaying or redistributing FMP data requires a specific Data Display and Licensing Agreement. Personal API access alone is not that agreement.

A practical acceptance task

Check the endpoint, history, call budget and bandwidth policy. Keep the intended display use distinct from private endpoint testing before choosing a subscription.

Keep the request context

Record endpoint/version, instrument identity, data frequency, timezone, history range, adjustment flags and the account entitlement. Retain only the response/provenance that the applicable terms permit. A generic provider comparison cannot replace a named dataset specification.

Test semantics before scale

Use a small authorized example and inspect status, response schema and any error object inside a successful HTTP response. Check pagination and row ordering. The local daily inspector accepts an explicitly mapped single-series CSV; it is not a universal provider JSON adapter or a certification of source accuracy.
