Overview
Portfolio Optimizer is a free REST API that helps you analyze and optimize investment portfolios using advanced mathematical models. It offers endpoints for portfolio construction, risk analysis, and performance metrics — no API key required. Beginners can start with simple portfolio statistics before moving on to optimization algorithms.
Beginner Tip
Start with the /portfolio/analysis/return endpoint to compute basic return metrics for a list of assets. The API expects asset weights and returns as JSON arrays, so make sure your inputs are properly formatted.
