How to Setup
Head over to "https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key" to grab your own Free API Key.
Head over to the Plugins Tab of your Application and Enter your API into all fields.
Once your API Key is entered, you can start fetching financial information.
Note: it is preferable to use server-side actions if an API key has just been created.
The problem is that when the key is used directly from Bubble's API connector, it doesn't work immediately for some reason.

- Use the Server-Side actions for getting data:
- After getting a result, here is the format (you can access results from the previous step in workflows):
Also, for example, create a text element on your page, click Dynamic Data--> Get Data from External API and choose the kind of Data you want to fetch.
