Alpha Vantage tweaks 'commercial use' definition: 'personal usage' wording replaced by 'private and individual'

The personal, non-commercial use clause is mostly reflowed with spacing and name changes. One criterion for commercial use changed from 'goes beyond personal usage including investment analysis...' to 'goes beyond investment analysis, research, testing, monitoring, and any other activities that are private and individual in nature'. This slightly changes how the line between personal and commercial use is described.

Taken from you

  • Slightly less clear line between personal and commercial use; the new wording could be read as treating analysis and research as within the limit
