Key benefits of using the Realtime and Historical Stock Data API include:

Here is an example of how to call the API using JavaScript:

// Using Fetch API, get stock data for a specific ticker
fetch('https://site.financialmodelingprep.com/developer/docs/[Ticker]')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.log('Error: ', error));

This makes a GET request to the API endpoint and logs the resulting data to the console. Please replace '[Ticker]' with the actual stock ticker symbol that you are interested in.
