## What it is
A Python wrapper library for the Alpha Vantage API providing access to stock, cryptocurrency, forex, fundamental, technical indicator, and economic data in JSON or pandas DataFrame format. It supports both synchronous and asyncio calls and requires a free Alpha Vantage API key.

## Use cases
- fetch historical stock prices in python
- get cryptocurrency data like bitcoin prices
- download stock fundamentals into a pandas dataframe
- query technical indicators for trading strategies
- pull forex and economic indicator data
- migrate from IEX Cloud to Alpha Vantage

## When to choose
- you want a simple Pythonic interface to Alpha Vantage endpoints
- you need data returned as pandas DataFrames for analysis
- you want asyncio support for concurrent API calls

## When to avoid
- you need a data source other than Alpha Vantage
- you need a code-less or spreadsheet-based solution
- you require guaranteed real-time data beyond Alpha Vantage's free tier limits
