Free Insider Trading API: What the Free Plan Includes (and the 48-Hour Delay)
What you get with a free Bourse API key and the free RapidAPI plan, why event data is delayed by 48 hours, and when live data starts.
You can explore the whole Bourse data model for free. Live signals are part of the paid plans.
Key takeaways
- Free Bourse key: 1,000 requests a day, 60 a minute, every dataset and field, for personal use.
- Free RapidAPI plan (BASIC): a hard limit of 50 requests per 30 days.
- On both free plans, event datasets (Congress, insiders, Trump, lobbying, contracts and other filings) skip records processed in the last 48 hours. Responses say so with the header
X-Bourse-Data-Delay: 48hand the fielddata_delay_hours. - Live data starts with Premium, pay-as-you-go ($1 per 1,000 requests), API Pro or Enterprise.
Why a delay instead of a smaller dataset
A delayed but complete dataset is the best way to evaluate structure, coverage and history before paying. You can build and test your pipeline on the free plan and switch to live data by changing the key.
