Licence comparison
Three questions to ask any data vendor
Not about data quality — about what the licence lets you do with your own work. Ask these before you build on anyone, including us.
1 · Can you export the raw data and take it with you?
| Trading Agent Data | Yes — every endpoint returns CSV/JSON; bulk files on the Redistribution tier. We ingest from public regulator filings directly, so no upstream vendor contract forbids export. It's written into the licence. |
| EODHD | Its terms prohibit subscribers from “Selling, reselling, retransmitting, redistributing, displaying, or granting access to the Information or Services, whether in its original or repackaged form.” (their terms, retrieved 2026-08-27) |
| StockAnalysis | States in its own materials that it licenses market data for display and cannot offer programmatic redistribution or resale of it. (their data page) |
| Licensed-feed apps generally | No as a rule — retail research apps built on S&P / Refinitiv / exchange feeds are contractually display-only. That is a property of their upstream contracts, not a choice they can reverse at any price. |
2 · When you cancel, what happens to your work?
| Trading Agent Data | Raw data: delete within 30 days — but everything you built from it (backtests, models, statistics, research) is yours forever, explicitly, in writing: the "Derived results are yours, forever" clause in every tier's licence. |
| EODHD | “Upon termination or expiration of the subscription, the subscriber is required to delete all copies of the data in their possession within one (1) month.” (their terms, retrieved 2026-08-27) — with no equivalent published carve-out for derived research at the time we checked. |
Why it matters: a "delete everything" clause without a derived-results exemption makes cancelling feel like losing your research. We'd rather you subscribe because the data is useful than because leaving is scary.
3 · Can your end users see the data in your product?
| Trading Agent Data | Yes — the Redistribution tier is self-serve at a public price (US$499/mo), with bulk files included and one condition: keep the attribution. |
| Most data APIs | End-user display is typically an enterprise negotiation (contact-sales pricing, often 10–25× the personal tier) or excluded outright. Check the licence before you write a line of code — being unable to ship is the expensive surprise. |
