Quick Start - Financial Context Documentation

Financial Context exposes market data from openapi.fcontext.com through authenticated /api/market-data/* endpoints.

1. Create A Credential

Sign in to Financial Context at fcontext.com, open account settings, and create an API key for external access.

Keep API keys private. Use environment variables or your platform’s secret manager.

2. Request A Quote

curl "https://openapi.fcontext.com/api/market-data/quote?symbols=AAPL.US,MSFT.US" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_FCONTEXT_API_KEY"

The response body includes quote data for the requested symbols. The current API supports .US symbols and US market filters.

3. Use The API From Code

const baseUrl = "https://openapi.fcontext.com";
const apiKey = process.env.FCONTEXT_API_KEY;

export async function getQuote(symbols) {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({ symbols: symbols.join(",") });
  const response = await fetch(`${baseUrl}/api/market-data/quote?${params}`, {
    headers: { "x-api-key": apiKey },
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`Financial Context request failed: ${response.status}`);
  }

  return response.json();
}
