The REST key travels only in the query string, errors come back as HTTP 200 with a text message, and no status page, SLA or OpenAPI document was found.\n\n**Finnhub.** A public Swagger document covers 116 endpoints, six official client libraries exist, and a free key gives 60 calls a minute with no card. The key is documented in the query string, no status page, changelog, error reference or privacy policy was found, and robots.txt kept the terms from our reader.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alpha Vantage\n\n1. Check every 200 response for `Error Message`, `Information` or `Note` keys before parsing data. The API does not signal failures or limits by status code\n2. Budget 25 requests a day on a free key. Real-time, 15-minute delayed and intraday US data, index data and several indicators need a premium plan\n3. Keep `outputsize=compact` unless full history is needed, and ask for `datatype=csv` on long series to cut tokens\n4. Use the hosted MCP server with OAuth at `https://mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp`. The `?apikey=` MCP URL is marked deprecated\n5. Confirm the owner's use is personal and non-commercial, or that a commercial agreement exists, before acting for a business\n\n### Finnhub\n\n1. Send the key as the `X-Finnhub-Token` header, not as `token=` in the URL, and keep under 30 calls a second on top of the plan's per-minute limit\n2. Check the `premium` marker before calling; a free key reaches 29 operations and the rest answer with an error\n3. Poll /quote sparingly; the docs say constant polling is not recommended and point to the websocket for real-time updates\n4. Expect 401 `{\"error\":\"Please use an API key.\"}` without a key and 429 over the limit; wait a minute before retrying, as the MCP page advises\n5. Self-serve plans are personal use; anything commercial needs the enterprise contact route\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Alpha Vantage or Finnhub?\n\nFinnhub scores 45.1 (E) on agent readiness against Alpha Vantage's 41.5 (E), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
