ELGON FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Elgon’s verifiable market-data API for Robinhood.
See our list of FAQ in our docs.
Elgon is an API for enriched market data across the Robinhood surface. It provides delayed pricing, charts, and aggregated data for stocks, ETFs, and crypto — plus simulated, sandbox-labelled options and prediction-market data — through one REST API.
Elgon is an independent project, not affiliated with Robinhood.
Most API providers just take raw market data and put an API wrapper around it. They then leave the data enrichment process up to the builders. Elgon takes this data and makes it instantly useful for a variety of different use-cases.
The Elgon API has a variety of use cases, including trading terminals, analytics platforms, retail brokerages, robo-advisors, options-flow tools, prediction-market frontends, LLMs, and trading bots. Visit our case studies for examples of applications using Elgon.
Getting an API key is free and quick. Once you've created your key, review our documentation for instructions on how to integrate Elgon into your application.
