We looked at all your feedback and set out to build a platform that can scale to meet your needs, add new services, and be a sustainable business. We didn't want to just give you a couple of upgraded endpoints, but to address all the issues that frustrate you when trying to build financial apps. It became clear early on that we wouldn't be able to deliver on our vision with the existing exchange API. So we created IEX Cloud.\r\n\r\nIEX Cloud is a new venture of IEX Group that makes it easier for you to build financial apps and integrate data into your existing apps. IEX Cloud is our way of addressing issues you've raised allowing you, the developer, to get back to what you really want to do. Just build.\r\n\r\nUsing our unique position in the market, we negotiated a new, unprecedented partnership to bring you the highest quality financial data. We are working on additional financial data partnerships, but also other unique data sets. We want to use our resources to bring you the best rather than give you a bunch of average choices to sift through.\r\n\r\nAs an organization, we’ve developed many large scale services to run our business and want to make them available so you can offer scalable features to your users without hundreds of hours of development time. There will be a few at launch like real-time alerts, real-time rules engine, UI widgets, and message streaming. This is an area we plan to be very active to help you scale your apps.\r\n\r\nIEX Cloud will introduce a pricing model to make this a sustainable business, but not like you’ve seen before. We think it is prohibitively expensive to get data and services you need to test a new idea, and terms of use don’t focus on developer needs. So we are going to simplify everything. Investors Exchange data will continue to be redistributed by IEX Cloud free for everyone. We think the whole point of building apps is to display data to your users, so all data can be displayed to your users without additional cost. We don’t think you should have to research hundreds of providers and sign multiple contracts, so we got rid of contracts, and everyone has access to all core data. We also think there is a fairer, more accessible way to price these services, so there will be three simple plans.  Free, $9 per month, and $499 per month.  Plans are based on usage with an option to pay-as-you-go. These are unheard of prices for the caliber of data we will provide, and again, Investors Exchange data will continue to be redistributed by IEX Cloud for free.\r\n\r\nIEX Cloud will officially launch early 2019 with early access to our beta next month to those that sign up at https://iexcloud.io  Signing up will get you a beta invitation and allow you to stay up-to-date on our release details.\r\n\r\nOur goal is to make IEX Cloud closely compatible with the current API to reduce code changes. Some endpoints may be marked for deprecation, and there may be minor changes to existing endpoints to fix data consistency issues.  We are planning to sunset all non Investors Exchange data endpoints in the current IEX Exchange API on May 1, 2019.\r\n\r\nWe’d love to get your feedback on IEX Cloud. Post any questions, concerns, or suggestions. If you have coded a library, integrated our data into your app, or have a testimonial and would like to be featured on the new site, email us at support@iexcloud.io\r\n\r\nWe look forward to seeing you all on the new platform."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iexg/IEX-API/issues/comments/438886112","html_url":"https://github.com/iexg/IEX-API/issues/557#issuecomment-438886112","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iexg/IEX-API/issues/557","id":438886112,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQzODg4NjExMg==","user":{"login":"rajivkbhatia","id":40303177,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjQwMzAzMTc3","avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/40303177?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia","html_url":"https://github.com/rajivkbhatia","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rajivkbhatia/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-11-15T01:49:19Z","updated_at":"2018-11-15T01:49:19Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Will $9 tier allow commercial use (say displaying a stock price/company description on a web page with ads)?"}}
