Global Stock Market API

About the Global Stock Market API

Global Stock Market provides monthly share price index data for major economies worldwide. The index is normalized to 2015=100, making it easy to compare relative market performance across countries. Data spans from 2000 to present for most countries. Each reading comes with the previous month's value and direction, and paid plans add percent changes over 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and year to date, the 12-month high, low and average, and the last 12 monthly readings with history=true. Use this for economic research, country comparison, and global market analysis. Use it to compare world stock markets and international stock market performance side by side.

Optional

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/globalstockmarket?country=DE&year=2023&month=6&history=true" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Response — GET /v1/globalstockmarket

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.

Zero-code embed — one snippet, no backend

Drop an interactive Global Stock Market form onto any page. The widget calls the API for you, so no key ever appears in your markup and there is nothing to deploy.

Changelog — Global Stock Market API

Every change to this endpoint, newest first. Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps serving — response fields are added, never removed or retyped in place, so an integration written against v1 keeps working.
