Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the symbols for my Starter plan?

We keep track and count any new symbols when they're requested on our API.

You won't have to decide on these symbols upfront. We reset this each time your subscription renews.

How do I know which symbols have already been allocated on my Starter plan?

Just ask our support team. We'll give you the list of symbols that you've consumed.

We're in the midst of adding a feature to our portal to show your allocated symbols.

Can I get more than 1,000 symbols on the Starter plan?

Yes, if you need more symbols, contact our support team and we can add more symbols to your plan at $1.75 per month for each additional symbol.

What happens if I exceed the symbol limit on the Starter plan?

Any API request exceeding the symbol limit will return an authorization error. You can contact our support team and we'll be happy to add more symbols to your plan at $1.75 per month for each additional symbol. This will be considered a plan upgrade and we'll reset you on a new 12-month term.

Can I upgrade from Starter to a different plan before my annual subscription has ended?

Yes. You can upgrade from Starter to Unlimited at any time. The remainder of your term on the Starter plan gets terminated and we'll start you on a new 12-month term.

How do I terminate my plan?

Contact our support team. We'll add self-service enrollment and termination to our portal later.

When is data updated or published?

New data and upcoming events are appended 4 times per day, between 4 to 5 AM, 9 to 10 AM, 2 to 3 PM, and 7 to 8 PM London time.

Are there restrictions on the use of the data?

Personal and commercial users can use the data for any internal purpose, including for display and non-display applications. The pricing is the same regardless of the size of your organization or the number of devices using the data. However, external redistribution in files or over API is not allowed.
