Nasdaq Data Link

Verified Sep 2026

Nasdaq Data Link (formerly Quandl) aggregates over 250 financial, economic, and alternative datasets from 500+ sources, with roughly 40 available free and the rest sold as a-la-carte premium subscriptions layered on the same keyed API. Its real data host, data.nasdaq.com, blocks most paths behind an Incapsula challenge, but the /api/v3/datatables/ path answers directly with a keyless 403 that asks for an API key, and that response carries no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, so cors is no.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
