Troubleshooting

My Stock Price shows "Account error"

Under free-plan, the stock component is limited to 8 requests per minute. If you are getting "Account error"
Please wait a few minutes and try again.

Alternatively, you can sign up with your own account and enter your own API key as instructed above.

 

Why for some stocks company name is displayed but not others?

Twelwedata provides company names in the upgraded price plan and only some companies will display their name within the free tier. The stock component is designed to display a company name if information is available otherwise it falls back to the stock symbol.

 

 

The previous stock price component was provided by IEXCloud, you can find the old article here.
