Hi,

Despite having only a few securities querying AlphaVantage, and getting a new free API key, I am getting the following error message and no quote updates for days:

The error message is telling you the issue.

You’ve reached the limit.

That’s what it looks like, but I haven’t reached the limit. I created a fresh API key and manually updated only one quote, but still got this message.

4

There is nothing we can do about it.

The API returns limit reached, so the limit is reached.

It’s only 25 requests a day.

Thats true, because “Information” is not included in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Field Name Registry
