Data Organization

Nasdaq Data Link’s global equity data is divided into several “datasets”, each covering a different subject. Many datasets on Nasdaq Data Link are free to use. Some are “premium” and are available only to subscribers.

Free datasets are maintained by the Nasdaq Data Link community of volunteer curators. As such, we cannot guarantee a daily publication time or quality standard for this data.

Premium datasets are provided by data vendors. These datasets are carefully audited and quality controlled; the data includes history, splits, dividends and adjusted prices; and they have guaranteed daily publishing times. Premium datasets are available only to paying subscribers, but you can preview them for free if you sign up for a Nasdaq Data Link account.

Data Coverage Areas

Nasdaq Data Link’s international equity data includes “raw” stock prices obtained directly from exchanges; “clean” stock prices which include adjusted prices, splits, dividends and ticker changes; fundamentals and financial ratios; global financial, economic and industry data; news and social media sentiment.

Nasdaq Data Link’s US equity data coverage is even wider; see API for US stock data for more.
