Overview

This package is a Julia wrapper for the Alpha Vantage API. Alpha Vantage provides free realtime and historical data for equities, physical currencies, digital currencies (i.e. cryptocurrencies), and more than 50 technical indicators (e.g. SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.).

The Alpha Vantage API requires a free API key.

Installation

client = AlphaVantage.GLOBAL[]
client.key = "YOURKEY"

or set it as an environment variable

export ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY=YOURKEY

and check that it is set using:

using AlphaVantage
AlphaVantage.GLOBAL[]
