Quick start

Start with the Quotes entity to verify that your connection is working, then switch to the time-series entity that best fits your analysis needs.

1

Create a new data flow in Coupler.io and select Alpha Vantage as your source.

2

Enter your API key. Paste your Alpha Vantage API key into the API key field. You can find this key on your Alpha Vantage account page under the API key section.

3

Configure Basic settings. Choose the entity (e.g., Time series dailies), enter the stock symbol you want to track (e.g., MSFT or TSCO.LON), and set the output size — compact returns the last 100 data points, full returns the complete history.

4

Choose your destination. Select where you want the data to land — Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, Claude, and more. Map your columns if needed, then run a manual import to confirm everything looks right.

5

Set a schedule. Choose how often Coupler.io should refresh your data — hourly, daily, or on a custom schedule — and activate the data flow.
