GET https://financeflowapi.com/api/v1/ticker-spot?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&ticker=AAPL

Response Example

{
    "success": true,
    "code": 200,
    "message": "OK",
    "data": {
        "ticker": "AAPL",
        "price": "203.890000",
        "dayHigh": "208.000000",

A practical Python example: monitor whether a stock is approaching its daily high for a potential breakout signal.

Python Example

import requests

API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
SYMBOL = 'AAPL'
URL = f'https://financeflowapi.com/api/v1/ticker-spot?api_key={API_KEY}&ticker={SYMBOL}'

try:
    response = requests.get(URL)
    json_res = response.json()

    if json_res.get('success'):
        data = json_res['data']
        current_price = float(data['price'])
        day_high = float(data['dayHigh'])

        print(f"--- Analysis for {data['ticker']} ---")
        print(f"Current: ${current_price:.2f} | Day High: ${day_high:.2f}")

        # Signal logic: check if price is within 0.5% of the daily high
        if current_price >= day_high:
            print("SIGNAL: Price has reached or broken the daily high!")
        elif current_price >= day_high * 0.995:
            print("ALERT: Price is in the breakout zone (within 0.5%).")
        else:
            diff = ((day_high - current_price) / current_price) * 100
            print(f"STATUS: Market is {diff:.2f}% away from daily high.")

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Connection Error: {e}")
