Frequently asked questions

What does TickerLayer cover that Massive does not?

International stocks across many markets, spot commodities, government bond yields and a market hours API, all on the same key as US stocks, forex and crypto.

How do the commercial terms differ?

Massive's individual plans are for personal use, with commercial use in a separate business product. TickerLayer includes commercial use on a self-serve Business plan.

Is switching hard?

Both are REST plus WebSocket with a snapshot and an aggregates call. The main change is symbol grammar: TickerLayer prefixes stocks with a market code, so AAPL becomes US:AAPL, and the coverage checker converts a whole list in one paste.
