finnhub-client

You can avoid Finnhub API rate limits by using a throttled client that enforces a strict 60 calls/min restriction. This client automatically manages rate limiting to safely fetch real-time quotes and fundamentals without triggering server blocks.

Yes, you can normalize Finnhub API responses using built-in adapters that translate payloads into a stable FMP-like shape. This allows seamless provider swapping and consistent data structures for downstream analytical skills.

The best way to cache Finnhub payloads is using a client with per-endpoint TTL caches. This approach stores responses temporarily, reducing redundant network calls and improving data retrieval efficiency for repeated ticker queries.

Yes, the Finnhub client supports retry logic with exponential backoff. This mechanism automatically retries failed network requests with increasing delays, ensuring reliable data ingestion during transient API errors.

You can monitor data drift by running the dual_fetch script to ingest Finnhub scoring data alongside FMP audit data. The client treats _audit outputs as non-inference data, enabling safe provider drift monitoring for auditing purposes.

Yes, you need the requests library installed as a dependency to use this Finnhub API client. The library handles the underlying HTTP network requests required for fetching real-time stock data from Finnhub endpoints.
