Good to know

  • The free plan is enough. Prices refresh every minute, well inside Finnhub's limit.
  • Change the tickers any time: right-click a stock tile and choose Change stock… or Edit watchlist….

If it doesn't connect

The card says what went wrong, in words like these:

“Finnhub rejected that key”

Copy the key again from your Finnhub dashboard.
