How to get a EODHD API key

EODHD gives every registered user an API token; there is also a public demo token for a few tickers.

Before you start

  • An email address

Create your EODHD API key

  1. 1

    Register

    Sign up at eodhd.com.

  2. 2

    Copy the token

    Open Settings in your dashboard and copy the API token. Save it as EODHD_API_TOKEN.

Test the key

Before wiring the key into a strategy, make one request by hand. It separates “the key is wrong” from “my code is wrong”.

curl -s "https://eodhd.com/api/eod/AAPL.US?api_token=$EODHD_API_TOKEN&fmt=json&from=2025-01-02&to=2025-01-10"
A JSON array of daily bars means the token works.

Add the key to your AlgoGP project

  1. 1

    Open your project’s APIs & keys tab

    Open the strategy project, select APIs & keys, and under Platforms choose EODHD (Pro).

  2. 2

    Paste each value

    Paste the values into EODHD_API_TOKEN and click Save. Values are encrypted at rest, never shown again and never written into code or exports.

  3. 3

    Run locally with the same names

    Exported projects read the same names from .env (copy .env.example). Keep .env out of version control.

EODHD_API_TOKEN=paste-your-value-here
.env for local runs

Turn EODHD data into a tested strategy

Backtest an idea in the browser, then export Python whose live loop reads candles straight from EODHD with your own key.

  • Generated EODHD candle fetcher, closed bars only
  • An AI copilot that writes and revises the rules
  • Pair it with Alpaca, Binance, OANDA or another broker

How the EODHD API works

AlgoGP is not affiliated with EODHD. Menus get renamed from time to time; if a label differs, the official documentation has the current path.
