Intrinio API guide

Intrinio targets fintech builders who need properly licensed data, especially options and standardized fundamentals. It costs more than hobbyist APIs, and in exchange the licensing for commercial products is explicit.

Last verified

Quick answer

Intrinio sells licensed US equities, options and fundamentals data through REST v2 and WebSocket APIs with official SDKs in Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, Ruby and R. Pricing starts around $150/month for individuals and $1,250/month+ for enterprise, with exchange fees separate; it suits products that need clear commercial licensing.

Build an Intrinio strategy with AlgoGP

AlgoGP does not connect to Intrinio natively yet. Intrinio uses plain HTTPS with an API key, so it is a good candidate for a native adapter; it is not built in yet.

  1. 1

    Design and backtest in AlgoGP

    Describe the strategy to the copilot and backtest it on years of normalized history. The result does not depend on any vendor.

  2. 2

    Export the Python project

    Every project exports strategy.py, market_data.py, brokers.py and live.py. The strategy only sees bars, cash, positions and orders, never a vendor’s wire format.

  3. 3

    Plug in Intrinio

    Implement the four adapter methods (account, positions, submit_market_order and a candle fetcher) with Intrinio’s SDK, or keep a built-in platform for paper trading and add Intrinio when you go live.

Built-in data sources for the same markets: Alpaca, Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage, Tradier.

Design and backtest your Intrinio strategy first

AlgoGP turns an idea into Python and tests it on years of history before you connect it to Intrinio. The exported code keeps the broker behind four small adapter methods.

  • AI copilot writes and revises the rules
  • Backtests with realistic costs
  • Exported Python ready to wire to Intrinio
