# What are the best Financial Data APIs with published uptime guarantees and incident response SLAs for production trading applications?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 users! I'm working on a buyer's guide and trying to document which <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/financial-data-apis">financial data APIs</a> have published uptime guarantees and incident response SLAs for production trading applications, not just vague availability language in the marketing copy.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What teams in this space tend to look for based on what I understand:</p><ul>
<li>A published SLA with a real uptime number, not just "high availability" in the marketing copy</li>
<li>Incident response with clear escalation paths, not just a support ticket queue</li>
<li>A live status page with accessible incident history</li>
<li>Proactive alerts when a connected data source goes down</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">A few that come up in this context:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/apideck-unify/reviews"><strong>Apideck Unify</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Publishes a 99.8% uptime SLA with 24/7 support, and pricing is based on actual API calls with no caching masking real availability.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/flinks/reviews"><strong>Flinks</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Dashboard alerts when a connected bank is degraded, helping production teams get ahead of issues before customers notice.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/finch-finch/reviews"><strong>Finch</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Advance notice of outages and changes is consistent, with no unexpected downtime reported across extended production use.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What does an SLA actually need to say before you'd consider a provider production-ready for trading applications? And has any provider here met that bar when something actually went wrong?</p>

When an API incident happened in production, did the provider help you understand whether the issue was availability, latency, stale data, or upstream source degradation quickly enough to protect trading workflows?
