@xcer125 I'd really like to avoid building another product on top tbh. I plan on showcasing better use cases on the landing page and adding examples at first but I may consider this if all else fails.

@pappakeno Hmm good point, my landing page might be too technical in nature. I will look into changing this.

@swoolf78 Thanks,! My competition operates within the $50 -$250 range plus contact but I have more data and way more capabilities and IMO a much better API and developer experience. I brought the prices down to with many tiers to draw customers in initially and my mentality was that I can...

@swoolf78 Increase prices or decrease? I think they're pretty high right now. What would you make the tiers?

@ericlownoise Hi I DM'd you.

@jusonedrn The official APIs form those sources are incomplete, limited in scope, have limited data (not all of it shows), and in the case of the SEC can be inaccurate. I know this because I studied this rigourously during development. I have to work on getting this point across in my landing...

@joseph92 lol this is very good idea actually. I was thinking of using the data to make charts like that (that also reference the source as my own site beamapi.com) and share it as a picture/video to those subreddits. Or do you mean have a live interactive chart on my own page and share that? I...

@forgivenandloved Hi thanks for the suggestion, I will look into these!

@drummmer78 Yes, I think its one of those very hard products to sell organically.

@lisa12383 See my comment to your main comment

@clarity123 Hi thanks, that's a good suggestion. I am currently re-designing the landing page to better describe my products use cases with examples, I think I'm getting some ideas for who the potential customers are.

@sharonarrives Hi thanks, I will be more clear. I get the data by mining it straight from files hence why it took a long time build this. Its a complex distributed architecture of miners that do it. The official APIs they offer are incomplete, limited in scope, have limited data, and in some...

@lisa12383 I was thinkng of those things as well. I will change the recommended tier and I will fix the table alignment but tbh I'm not sure how to do it so that it looks decent on smaller resolutions. My target audience are mostly academicians, researchers (whether in academia or firms)...

@echidna Will do! thanks for the tips!

@echidna Oh I see, you mean either build one out to find my own leads or advertise it with some specific use cases that would allow others to do the same, essentially expanding the scope of the customer base. Sounds smart, I will look into this. Most of the data is for public companies where you...

@echidna What do you mean by "Lead Gen tool" ? I plan on making a list of some people in these areas and cold emailing them (particularily starting with universities). Is that what you mean? If so, any particular approach you recommend or any tips for closing these people?

@echidna This is where I realized my product is falling through the cracks a bit. Big firms would most likely build out their own data pipeline to be safe so my product is mostly for academicians, researchers (whether in academia or firms), small/individual shops that don't want to build out...

@cocacola10 I will look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.

@scot21t Thanks for the resources, I will look through them! I have already become very attached to this lol

I spent 3 years building this API. I did it without really validating the idea but I am confident there are users for this since affordable data is a really big pain point for the retail market and its a problem I had myself. I guess you can say I'm more of a technical guy than a sales guy...
