## Sources

| Source | Key? | Best For |
|--------|------|----------|
| SEC EDGAR | No | Filings, XBRL financials, insider transactions |
| Yahoo Finance | No | Real-time quotes, price history, options, dividends |
| Binance | No | Crypto prices (non-US only) |
| CoinGecko | Free key | Crypto rankings, broader crypto coverage |
| FRED | Free key | GDP, unemployment, interest rates, 800K+ economic series |
| Finnhub | Free key | Real-time stock quotes, earnings data |
| Alpha Vantage | Free key | Stock quotes, financials, price history (25/day limit) |
| World Bank | No | Global economic indicators (GDP, unemployment, inflation) |

## When to Use --json

Use `--json` when you need to parse the output programmatically. Always place `--json` before the command:

```bash
omd --json quote AAPL
omd --json financials AAPL -p quarterly
omd --json crypto top 10
omd --json macro GDP --limit 5
```

## Configuration

API keys via env vars or CLI:

```bash
export FRED_API_KEY=your_key
export COINGECKO_API_KEY=your_key
export FINNHUB_API_KEY=your_key
export ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY=your_key
export EDGAR_USER_AGENT="YourCompany you@email.com"

# Or use CLI config
omd config set fredApiKey your_key
omd config set coingeckoApiKey your_key
omd config set finnhubApiKey your_key
omd config set alphaVantageApiKey your_key
omd config show
```

## Routing

Commands automatically route to the best available source. If the top source fails or hits its rate limit, it falls back to the next one. Use `--source <name>` to force a specific provider.
