Where the data comes from.
Every chart is built from public, third-party data - fetched live from each provider and cached for about a day so charts stay current without hammering the source. We don't charge for the data and we don't claim it as our own; we aim to make each provider's numbers easier to explore and, in doing so, support their mission. More on the mission page.
