Mock sample for your project: Portfolio Optimizer API

Integrate third-party APIs faster by using "Portfolio Optimizer API" ready-to-use mock sample. Mocking this API will allow you to start working in no time. No more accounts to create, API keys to provision, accesses to configure, unplanned downtime, just work.
Improve your integration tests by mocking third-party APIs and cover more edge cases: slow response time, random failures, etc.

Description

Portfolio Optimizer is a Web API to optimize the composition of investment portfolios (collection of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, crypto-currencies) using modern portfolio theory-like algorithms (mean-variance, etc.).
API General Information
Portfolio Optimizer is based on REST for easy integration, uses JSON for the exchange of data and uses the two most common HTTP verbs (GET, POST) to represent the actions.
Portfolio Optimizer is also as secured as a Web API could be:
256-bit HTTPS Encryption
No usage of cookies
No usage of personal data
API Headers
The following HTTP header(s) are required when calling Portfolio Optimizer endpoints:
Content-type: application/json
This header specifies that the data provided in input to the endpoint is in JSON format
The following HTTP header(s) are optional when calling Portfolio Optimizer endpoints:
X-API-Key:
This header enables authenticated users to provide their private API key in order to benefit from higher API limits
API Key
Portfolio Optimizer is free to use, but not free to run.
In order to obtain an API key and benefit from higher API limits, a small participation to Portfolio Optimizer running costs is required.
This participation takes the form of coffee(s), with one coffee = one month of usage.
Notes:
> * Please make sure not to expose your API key publicly!
API Limits
Portfolio Optimizer comes with fairly reasonable API limits.
For anonymous users:
The API requests are restricted to a subset of all the available endpoints and/or endpoints features
The API requests are limited to 1 request per second for all the anonymous users combined, with concurrent requests rejected
The API requests are limited to 1 second of execution time
The API requests are limited to 20 assets, 100 portfolios, 500 series data points and 5 factors
For authenticated users with an API key:
The API requests have access to all the available endpoints and endpoints features
The API requests are limited to 10000 requests per 24 hour per API key, with concurrent requests queued
The API requests are limited to 2.5 seconds of execution time
The API requests are limited to 100 assets, 500 portfolios, 2500 series data points and 25 factors
> Notes:
> * It is possible to further relax the API limits, or to disable the API limits alltogether; please contact the support for more details.
> * Information on the API rate limits are provided in response messages HTTP headers x-ratelimit-*:
> * x-ratelimit-limit-second, the limit on the number of API requests per second
> * x-ratelimit-remaining-second, the number of remaining API requests in the current second
> * x-ratelimit-limit-minute, the limit on the number of API requests per minute
> * ...
API Regions
Portfolio Optimizer servers are located in Western Europe.
> Notes:
> * It is possible to deploy Portfolio Optimizer in other geographical regions, for example to improve the API latency; please contact the support for more details.
