  3. Paste your Twelve Data key

    The preset asks for your free API key once, then searches Twelve Data's symbols for you.

  4. Search a ticker

    Type a stock symbol, ETF, or coin — whatever Twelve Data's symbol search returns. The same form also offers one-tap shortcuts for popular tickers.

This is one preset, not the whole picture — it becomes an ordinary, fully editable view the moment it's added. See Views for every built-in preset, or Features to point DataPix at any other JSON API (a different data provider, forex rates, your own portfolio tracker, anything that returns JSON).
