Intrinio: financial-data APIs, Edge pricing feeds and MCP access

Intrinio supplies financial datasets for developers, fintech products and institutional research. Its catalogue spans US equities and options, company fundamentals, ETFs, indices, analyst estimates and corporate events. REST queries, streams and bulk delivery serve different application needs; the selected dataset determines the available history, fields and publication schedule. The core plans combine several feeds, while Enterprise supports a wider custom selection.[1]

The Edge products are marketed without the exchange fees and paperwork associated with the corresponding exchange feeds. Their prices still have a different meaning: EquitiesEdge predicts market values, while OptionsEdge estimates a midpoint and can diverge for illiquid contracts. An application that needs executed trades or exchange quotes should select that feed explicitly.[2][3]

The REST API returns JSON and uses cursor pagination through next_page. Intrinio lists official SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, Ruby and R. The catalogue separates endpoints for security identifiers, prices, statements, options and account information. Integration design should map each required field to its entitled endpoint rather than assuming every subscription exposes every catalogue item.[6]

The hosted MCP server connects compatible assistants and development tools to entitled Intrinio data. It uses the intrinio-mcp.intrinio.com endpoint with OAuth or API-key authentication, and includes a tool for checking account access. The connector is included with the published plans and is read-only: it cannot place trades or change the account. It supplies an access mechanism; the contractual AI-use restrictions are addressed below.[7]

Individual and Startup are non-customizable packages. Their common core includes the Edge feeds, fundamentals, historical equities/options and delayed stock data; Enterprise adds custom catalogue selections. Published entry prices do not specify a universal API quota.[8]

Billing cadence does not determine cancellation rights. The September 2026 terms default to twelve-month renewals, thirty-day notice, a 5% annual increase and continuing liability for the term; an executed Order Form can override them. Fees exclude tax, are generally non-refundable and rise 10% without automatic payment unless agreed otherwise.[9]

Private requests use an API key in a query parameter or Bearer authorization header. The authentication guide also provides a distinct public-key mechanism for browser environments, restricted to registered domains through X-Authorization-Public-Key. It specifically instructs developers to remove the default localhost allowance before production. These are separate credentials with different exposure assumptions; a private account key should not be treated as the public browser key.[10]

Limits vary by data subscription and are displayed in the account. Daily allowances reset at midnight Eastern time, while some requests also have minute or second limits. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429. Requests with page_size above 100 and bulk endpoints have additional published limits; a request that cannot finish within 25 seconds is dropped with HTTP 503. Large ingestion jobs need paging, retry handling and bounded requests.[11]

The equities streaming guide describes subscriptions by ticker, ticker list or a separately entitled firehose. It lists default ceilings of 500 simultaneous symbols and two connections, expressly subject to the subscription or contract. Those defaults should not be generalized to every options or Edge product. The SDK converts binary stream messages into language-native callbacks; slow callbacks can overflow queues and lose updates. Quote handling and downstream work therefore need their own processing capacity.[12]

For the real-time OPRA product, Intrinio offers a fourteen-day trial requested through sales or chat, subject to exchange approval. This is a product-specific trial description. Confirm the actual symbols, quote/trade fields, open-interest timing and production entitlement before using trial results to size a deployment.[4]

The support page separates AI technical help from live human chat. The price cards add ticketing for Startup and dedicated onboarding, phone and code-level support for Enterprise.[13][8]

The public status site reports infrastructure and API incidents, offers historical incident records and supports email, text, Atom and RSS notifications. It is an operational monitoring route, separate from the customer-specific service-level agreement.[14]

An executed Order Form must authorize commercial use, redistribution and external display; exchange permissions can also apply. Sending data to an external AI provider requires those rights even when the output stays internal. MCP availability therefore does not by itself authorize the proposed AI workflow. The terms identify Intrinio as neither a registered investment adviser nor broker-dealer.[9]

The published privacy policy identifies Intrinio, Inc., a Delaware corporation. It remains linked from the current site but displays an effective date of 30 June 2018. It says personal information is processed in the United States and provides a dedicated privacy contact.[15]

Intrinio positions its service for individual developers, fintech companies and institutions. The product being procured is financial data and access tooling; the customer still designs the application, analytics and any downstream distribution arrangement.[16]

After termination, data and reconstructable embedded datasets must generally be deleted within thirty days, followed by an officer’s certificate within ten business days. Qualifying non-reconstructable derived works may survive; stricter exchange rules take precedence.[9]

The US Fundamentals page is internally inconsistent about its history: the product summary says 2006, while the FAQ says data starts in 2007 with fuller coverage from 2008. It also labels parsing and standardization of 8-K data as under development. Specify the required filing types, issuers and dates when establishing coverage rather than relying on a single headline start year.[5]
