Plans, tiers & access
API access maps directly to your subscription plan. Tiers are strictly ordered (Free < Basic < Premium < Pro) — a higher tier always includes everything below it.
Tiers
| Tier | Description | API consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Free (registered) | Account without an active subscription. | Demo scope: AAPL only on market-data endpoints; demo rate limits. |
| Basic | Essential tools for retail traders. | Basic feature keys (dashboard, greeks_heatmap, simulator, price_context). Any ticker. |
| Premium | Advanced analytics. | Basic plus Premium keys (volatility_lab, iv_dashboard, flow_analytics, screener, market_overview, greeks_exposure, …). |
| Pro | Institutional-grade tools — includes API access. | Premium plus Pro keys (risk_manager, event_analysis, 0DTE, vol_term_analytics, iv_shift, skew_intelligence, volatility_arbitrage, …). |
- All paid plans include a 7-day free trial. A subscription is valid while its status is active, trialing, or past_due and the paid period has not expired. See pricing.
Demo mode
- Anonymous and Free accounts are limited to AAPL on market-data endpoints. The check inspects the path ticker,
?ticker=, and comma-separated?tickers=lists; anything else returns 403{demo_restricted: true}. /api/mcp/*is token-authenticated and not subject to the demo ticker restriction.
Feature keys
Every gated endpoint checks a named feature key with a minimum tier and a published flag. Below your tier → 403 with the upgrade payload; unpublished → 404.
