You can also check OpenBB, one of the most known projects in this category: https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal Most data vendors will require a free API key because that's their GTM. They want you to create an account with them to get a free API key and then expect to be able to upsell you over time. Or you can access "free data" (e.g. yfinance) that relies on projects who actively scrape financial data from a website - these tend to need a lot of updates from main maintainer since there are no aligned incentives between maintainer of the scrapped API and company that has the data. PS: I'm the main creator behind the OpenBB project on GitHub.

We did. But that was after I received a SPAM email saying "Welcome to our newsletter" in my personal GitHub account when I wasn't part of that audience. You can see my interaction with someone from our team here: https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal/issues/1625... - When we realize what had just happened. We immediately deleted that audience (which was our plan all along anyway), but then it was too late, we were trending on HackerNews and Mailchimp pinged us after. After that it was mostly damage control, as there's nothing we could have done to make things better.

> curious how you got a list of emails of people who have starred your repo No mystery there; “stargazing” is one the public [1] social networking features that GitHub provides, and the email address that you write to your Git commits [2] becomes public when you share those commits on the internet.
