## FAQ

### How can I get a free API key?

You can request a free 'qd_' key by email using the quantdata_request_free_api_key tool or via a curl command. The key provides 10 successful calls per UTC day.

### Does the service provide buy or sell recommendations?

No, the service provides measured historical frequencies and detected events, but it does not provide financial advice or recommendations.

### What is included in the Max Pain and GEX data?

Max pain includes the option strike where buyers lose the most, put/call ratios, and open interest. GEX provides estimated dealer gamma exposure, net GEX, and the zero gamma level.

### Can an AI agent purchase a paid plan?

No, an AI agent can request a free key but cannot complete a purchase because card authentication requires a human.
