About this table

This table aims to achieve the following:

  1. Present the availability of OHLCV data for common stock securities across multiple exchanges in multiple regions for free-to-use information aggregator services.
  2. Find OHLCV data source providers which have data sets that can be (A) loaded by a spreadsheet file function, or (B) copied and pasted into a spreadsheet file. The providers do not include those which have data sets that can be (C) exported from a chart object (e.g. TradingView) or (D) loaded by an API call (e.g. Massive.com's API).

For the "Google Finance Coverage" column, coverage evaluates to available if a user can write a Google Sheets' GOOGLEFINANCE function equation and get OHLCV data for a specific common stock security.

For the "Yahoo Finance Coverage" column, coverage evaluates to available if a user can visit a common stock security's historical page of OHLCV data.
