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.
