Set these per environment. See Connect an integration.

​

Setup

1. Claim a free API key: Open https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key, fill in the short form (who you are, organization, email address), and the API key is shown immediately. The free key allows up to 25 requests per day.
2. Store the key: Set the key as ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY.
3. Verify it works: Open https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=GLOBAL_QUOTE&symbol=IBM&apikey=YOUR_KEY in a browser and check that a JSON quote comes back instead of an error message.

​

Provider notes

• Alpha Vantage authenticates by passing the API key as an apikey query parameter on every request (https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=…&apikey=…); it does not accept the key in an HTTP header.
• The free API key is limited to 25 requests per day; premium plans at https://www.alphavantage.co/premium/ raise the limit and remove delays.
