Data sources & freshness

Every data point on this site is either fetched live from a public primary source or is a hardcoded constant with a visible last-verified date. We don't scrape paid aggregators (Tickertape, Trendlyne, Tijori, ValueResearch) and we don't redistribute raw market data. Last full audit: 2026-04-18.

Our redistribution posture

  • NSE / BSE public endpoints — consumed for display on our own site only. All JSON endpoints are same-origin gated and our robots.txt disallows /api/*. See our Terms for the explicit clause.
  • AMFI — standard industry syndication of daily NAV. Published explicitly for fintech re-use.
  • Stooq — free daily CSV, explicitly permitted for personal + commercial use (Stooq ToS) with derived analytics unrestricted. No raw redistribution.
  • News RSS (Moneycontrol, LiveMint, ET Markets, BusinessLine) — RSS feeds are published specifically for syndication. We store headlines + summaries only, always link back, never reproduce the full body.
  • No scraping of paid aggregators. Zero data taken from Trendlyne, Tickertape, Tijori, ValueResearch, ET Money, Smallcase or similar. We reference them for comparison only.
  • User broker data (Zerodha Kite, Upstox, Groww when connected) — fetched per-user via their own OAuth session, never cached across users, never redistributed.

How often hardcoded values get re-verified

  • Per MPC (~6 weeks) — RBI repo rate after each Monetary Policy Committee meeting.
  • Quarterly — small-savings scheme interest rates after the Ministry of Finance notification at the end of each calendar quarter.
  • Annually (Feb) — tax slabs, standard deductions, rebate thresholds, STT rates after the Union Budget.
  • Annually (Dec) — NSE + BSE trading holiday calendar after the year-end exchange circular.
  • On release — CPI, IIP, PMI, GDP after each MoSPI / HSBC publication.

If you see a stale date on a hardcoded value, that's flagged red on this page and takes priority on our review queue. You can always cross-check the authoritative source via the links above.
