EODHistorical Data

The EODHD (End of Day Historical Data) website provides comprehensive coverage of all U.S. stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds from their inception. Additionally, the platform encompasses historical data for non-U.S. stock exchanges, primarily dating back to January 3, 2000.

A free API-token can be easily obtained by providing your email address. The token comes with a usage limit of 20 API requests per day. However, only historical quotes from the last year could be retrieved.

You can use the API-token with the automatic Quote Feed of PP from within PP works just fine. Enter the token in the Settings (Help > Preferences > API Keys) and choose EOD Historical Data as Quote Feed Provider.

If you have some special requirements, you can also use the JSON Quote Feed Provider (see API documentation for some use cases). For example, the following request will retrieve the Apple historical prices from the month January 2000.
