75 free dividend data sources, but only a handful document calendar fields, numeric free limits and usage terms together

Asked (summary):

Find every free data source a developer could use to build a dividend calendar app — ex-dividend dates, pay dates, amounts, yields and payout history — covering free APIs, public datasets and free tiers of paid APIs, with each source's name, URL, coverage (US or global), update frequency, free-tier rate limits, and attribution or commercial-use restrictions.

A broad live-web scan on 14 October 2026 produced 75 recurring, developer-usable sources across 44 independent hosts (no URL backs more than 2 rows) — a best-effort exhaustive catalog, not proof that no obscure source exists. Of the 75, 44 document a numeric free-tier limit, 29 state an update cadence, 33 state explicit terms, and 18 rely on unofficial or scraped feeds (mostly Yahoo or Nasdaq endpoints).

Capability and constraint matrix

One row per source, sorted by how much a row documents: five dividend fields (green when the source states the field) and three due-diligence constraints (blue: update cadence stated; grey: a numeric free limit stated; orange: explicit attribution or commercial-use terms). An empty cell means no reliable statement was found — not that a limit or restriction is absent. Hover a row for its full details.

What the matrix cannot say alone

Eulerpool offers the largest documented permanent free allowance in the catalog — 100,000 requests per month over 100,000+ securities on 90+ exchanges, with batch calls of up to 100 symbols counting as one request. eulerpool.com

"Free" rarely means redistribution rights: FMP's terms require a display/licensing agreement before dividend data is displayed or redistributed, so free-plan entitlements need careful legal review before shipping an app. site.financialmodelingprep.com

APIVerve's free plan (1,000 credits plus a 500-credit bonus) is explicitly for testing and development only — production or commercial use requires a paid plan. docs.apiverve.com

SEC EDGAR is the only source with no key, no account and no paid tier at all — dividends-per-share arrive as XBRL facts under a fair-access limit of 10 requests per second with a declared User-Agent. edgarscout.com

Method: 75 developer-usable dividend data sources collected in a broad live-web scan on 2026-10-14, one row per normalized source, spanning 44 independent hosts (max 2 rows per URL). Excluded: single-company datasets, end-user-only sites without machine-readable access, trial-only offers, and price-only adjusters. Matrix dots mark whether a row's own text documents a field or constraint; an empty cell means no reliable statement was found, not that none exists. Long field, limit and restriction texts are truncated in the table; hover the matrix for full text. "Free" never implies commercial redistribution rights.
