API.SH vs the official CNBC API

CNBC does not offer a public developer API for its quotes or news; what ranks for "CNBC API" today is CNBC's own site pages plus community wrappers on RapidAPI and scrapers on Apify. API.SH returns public CNBC quotes, market boards, charts and articles as JSON with no CNBC account.

Instead of maintaining a CNBC scraper from a GitHub script or picking between RapidAPI wrappers, API.SH gives you quotes, movers, charts and news with one key and a fixed price per call.
