API Keys

Market Data

If you want to view price charts and/or add MFE prices automatically, you need to get the data from a market data provided. Currently, TradeNote provides support for adding Polygon and Databento. You can add your API key(s) on the settings page.

• Polygon has an interesting free tier where you can make up to 5 api call per minute. It works with stocks and with options.
• Databento also provides data for futures. After trying numerous market data providers, Databento is one of my favorits. I offers a generous 150$ credit on signup and/or very intersting pricing.

TradeNote API

TradeNote provides an API so that you can setup an auto import of your trades. Please note that this a very experimental feature AND unfortunately, I will not be able to provide support on how to make a POST request.

The trades endpoint allows you to import trade executions directly to the database.
