Twelve Data

Twelve Data provides stocks and forex market data including real-time quotes, historical time series, and reference data. Use for traditional markets (stocks, forex) instead of crypto.

When to Use Twelve Data

Use Twelve Data for:

• Stock prices - Real-time and historical stock quotes
• Forex prices - Currency pair quotes and time series
• Time series data - OHLCV historical data
• Reference data - Stock lists, forex pairs, exchanges
• Search - Find stock symbols and company names

Important: Use Twelve Data for stocks and forex only. For crypto, use CoinGecko.

• API Key: Requires TWELVEDATA_API_KEY environment variable (Pro subscription)
• Crypto: DO NOT use Twelve Data for crypto. Use CoinGecko instead.
• Fundamental data: Fundamental data tools (income_statement, balance_sheet, etc.) require Grow/Pro+/Ultra/Enterprise tiers and are not included in this skill
