Alpha Vantage sample code

The securities purchased by the ECB and Eurosystem central banks under the various large scale asset purchase programmes (PSPP, CSPP) are made available for securities lending since mid-2015.
The aim of the securities lending framework is to support bond and repo market liquidity through various lending arrangements ranging from bilateral lending to lending relying on specialized securities lending agents or on the lending infrastructure of international central securities depositories.
The terms of the lending contracts, i.e. collateral eligibility, pricing, haircut, term and counterparty eligibility; are determined at the individual central bank level to accommodate domestic infrastructures and market practices.
