// faq

Questions, answered

Who maintains TradingAgents?

It is maintained by TauricResearch and contributors on GitHub, where the repository github.com/TauricResearch/TradingAgents is the canonical home for code, issues and releases.

Is TradingAgents free to use?

Yes — it is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Read the license in the repository for what is permitted, including any conditions on redistribution or commercial use.

Does it need a paid API key?

Yes — it requires LLM API keys (for example OpenAI) and market data API access as documented under Required APIs.

How does TradingAgents compare to alternatives?

Compared with single-prompt stock analysis: TradingAgents splits the work across analyst, researcher, trader and risk agents that debate, instead of asking one model for one answer.

How do I get started?

Clone github.com/TauricResearch/TradingAgents, follow the README quickstart to install it, and run the documented first example before adapting it to your own work.
