Approved with no objection:

Alpha Vantage https://www.alphavantage.co/ You are allowed to use it within the free limits. You should find a mechanism to cache the data if you exceed the free limits or find an alternative source.

Alright thank you prof! For alpha vantage, they provide free academic access (higher volume) to their data for students (eg. Taking part in hackathon, doing school projects). However, they need evidence of our student status. Is it possible for you help me to confirm my student status?
