Nasdaq Data Link

Verified Jul 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, sits behind an Incapsula bot-protection challenge that blocks every automated request before a CORS header could ever be observed, so cors is left unknown rather than guessed.

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.
