this leads to a Django debug page because you linked incorrectly.
The bigger problem though is running debug=True in production. you should change that asap it's a security hole.
What docs? I made an account and haven't learned anything from the docs that I have not already reverse engineered in a minute from the two sentence comment I am replying to.
I'm tempted to use a throwaway email to see what is it because from their landing page there's very little that would make me trust them, specially when I know how expensive that data traditionally is.
How can you provide it for free? how "real time" it is? Where is the data coming from? NASDAQ? a broker?
I'm quite curious but the sparsity of the site makes me dubious
Does that includes order and Level 2?
P.S. I did immediately wonder if I got lured into signing up just to be offered to install some kind of styvcoin mining software. No thanks.
If you're new to stocks, the main corporate events are: 1)Dividends - stocks sometimes pay out some cash or cash-equivalent stock to holders. This causes the price to briefly drop after the date because if you tihnk about on one day you were going to own (say) Microsoft with $100 in the bank, the next day if you're a holder, you own Microsoft (with only $95 in the bank because it's paid out a dividend) and you get $5 dividend. But if you buy on that second day, you only get Microsoft with $95 in the bank. So the price on the second day should be lower. 2)Splits/reverse splits - Companies sometimes decide to adjust the number of shares issued and the price will adjust pro rata. So for example, say the price is $100 and there are 100 shares, then next day the stock splits 2 for 1 so there are 200 shares now. The company is the same, so the price will be half (ie $50).
If your market data does not adjust for these (or allow you to adjust), then these effects will wreck any kind of model you try to build.
Other things you definitely need to be able to do/get: 1)Basket/index/etf compositions. If you're doing any kind of trading of stock etfs, index options/futures etc you need to know what's in the basket and how that changes. This also matters if you're trading things like the russel rebalance, where there is a lot of trading around what stocks go into or out of the indices 2)Calendars for earnings, market holidays etc. You can get this from a third-party source but you definitely need it from somewhere.
What stops me from just scraping your whole dataset?
An 'API' targeted at developers full of marketing buzzwords it just seems like the wrong audience - even if its free.
Also pretty sure you need to account for when you distribute the data, do you have the full rights to redistribute this data legally?
This is important since if someone decides to fully build on top of your API, they don't want the service to be gone in a few months and waste all the time integrating with yours.
Do you offer (or plan to offer) historical data?

If real this would be great, but it’s not giving me a lot of information right now. I’m assuming no international markets?
Book marked to return to.
I will probably try and take advantage of this API, but I would want a list function of some sort to know what stocks are available. How do I know what's going up / down or sentiment is rising / falling without knowing where to look?
I guess it's data for the day only, not hourly? I had this virtual world idea, and wanted to make a parody virtual college in it in the future haha. one of the things I was thinking is having a ticker in the business school part of the project or some newsfeeds.
how about bid, ask, l2 book and nbbo
