Frequently asked questions
Is the Mansa Markets API really free for personal use?
Yes, the Standard tier is free forever, 100 requests/day, no credit card. Covers 32 countries across 20 tracked African exchanges. Commercial use inside your own product needs a paid plan (Starter or Professional); redistributing the data itself needs an Institutional agreement.
What counts as commercial use?
Anything that monetizes Mansa data inside your own product, such as embedding live prices in a paid app or building a paid feature on top. That is covered on Starter and Professional. Passing the data on as data (reselling feeds, mirroring datasets, or serving our API responses through your own API) is redistribution and needs an Institutional agreement. Internal research, side projects and educational use all stay on Standard. Full terms: mansaapi.com/licensing.
How do I get an API key?
Standard keys are issued instantly after a quick request. Starter, Professional, and Institutional keys are provisioned automatically after checkout.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
Yes, change plans any time from your account settings. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.
How are payments processed?
Payments are securely processed by Flutterwave. You'll see one charge from Mansa Markets / Flutterwave on your statement.
What's your refund policy?
If the Professional tier doesn't meet your needs in the first 14 days, email hello@mansamarkets.com and we'll refund in full. After 14 days, prorated refunds are available on a case-by-case basis.
What exchanges does the API cover?
NGX (Nigeria), GSE (Ghana), NSE (Kenya), JSE (South Africa), MSE (Malawi), RSE (Rwanda), EGX (Egypt), CSE (Morocco), BRVM (West Africa), BVMAC (Central Africa / CEMAC), DSE (Tanzania), LuSE (Zambia), BSE (Botswana), USE (Uganda), ZSE (Zimbabwe), SEM (Mauritius), ESE (Eswatini), BVC (Cape Verde), SGBV (Algeria), and NSX (Namibia).
How fresh is the data?
API data updates every 30 minutes during each exchange's market hours. After close, the data reflects official end-of-day figures. Every response includes an updated_at timestamp.
Need something different?
We build custom data feeds for asset managers, banks, and development banks. Webhook delivery, SFTP drops, country-specific coverage, on-prem options, all available on Institutional.
