Now keep this window open or copy and paste your key somewhere safe because you’re going to need it in a second.
Step 3.) Create your Marketstack API URL
Note: this process might have changed a little bit, but should be very similar.
Now that we have our API key, we need to construct our marketstack API URL.
Click here to read the Marketstack API documentation to learn how to structure your API request.
Here is an example API URL for Marketstack:
https://api.marketstack.com/v1/eod?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY&symbols=AAPL
In this example API URL, you can see that the stock that we are requesting data for is AAPL.
You can enter any one or more companies in place of AAPL to get data from, just separate them by comma
Also, where it says “YOUR_ACCESS_KEY” is where you will place your API token that you got in your dashboard.
Step 4.) Enter your API request in the Apipheny add-on
Your next step is to enter your API URL into the Apipheny app.
If you want to use a demo URL, you can use this one:
https://api.marketstack.com/v1/eod?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY&symbols=AAPL
Just copy and paste your whole API URL into the Apipheny add-on, like this:
Once you have your API URL entered into the Apipheny app, just click Run and you’re done! Your stock and forex data from the Marketstack API will automatically import into your Google Sheet.
