Hi : I am trying to access Stock Fundamental data directly using the Polygon Python API but using Alpaca Key. I have a live trading account with Alpaca. But the data returned by Polygon is stale. Has anyone else used Polygon fundamentals data?

Alternatively, is IEX data free if you have a live Alpaca account or do you need to pay for it seperately?

I tried getting fundamental data with polygon and found it lacking. Alpaca is suppose to have access to IEX fundamental data but i am not sure of the state of things there. I ended up getting a subscription to IEX, it was about $108 for the year and you get pretty much unlimited quota (as long as its for personal use).

IEX has a lot of great fundamental data, like float and shares outstanding, and great API wrappers from the community, highly recommend.

if you end up using it, feel free to use my referral link. [https://iexcloud.io/s/da11cafa](https://iexcloud.io/s/da11cafa)
