Financial Context accepts two credential types for external market-data calls:
  • API keys created in Financial Context account settings
  • OAuth bearer tokens for approved CLI, MCP, or agent clients
Use these Financial Context credentials for API requests.

API Key Header

curl "https://openapi.fcontext.com/api/market-data/quote?symbols=AAPL.US" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_FCONTEXT_API_KEY"
x-api-key is the recommended header for server-to-server integrations.

โ€‹
OAuth Bearer Token

curl "https://openapi.fcontext.com/api/market-data/quote?symbols=AAPL.US" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Bearer tokens must include market-data access for the market_data scope.
