# Quick Start

> Make your first Financial Context market-data request

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](https://fcontext.com), open account settings, and create an API key for external access.

<Warning>
  Keep API keys private. Use environment variables or your platform's secret manager.
</Warning>

## 2. Request A Quote

```bash theme={null}
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

```javascript theme={null}
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();
}
```

## Common First Calls

```bash theme={null}
# Realtime quotes
curl "https://openapi.fcontext.com/api/market-data/quote?symbols=AAPL.US" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_FCONTEXT_API_KEY"

# Company overview

# News

```
