A Finnhub API key is optional. Without one, TCKR shows the major indices only. Your own symbols need a Finnhub key, and a free Finnhub account is enough. With PRO, the symbol limit depends on your Finnhub plan: a free key streams up to 50 symbols at once, which is Finnhub's free WebSocket limit.
Up and running in minutes.
