Documentation

API calls are straightforward. Either use the build-in functions such as time_series_intraday, time_series_weekly, etc.:

import alpyvantage as av

api = av.API(<your_api_key>)

data, meta_data = api.time_series_intraday('DAX', interval='1min', month='2015-01')

print(data) # its a pandas.DataFrame

Or use the function keyword from the official API documentation and provide the parameters as keyword arguments:

data, meta_data = api('TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY', symbol='DAX', interval='1min', month='2015-01')

A detailed documentation of the individual functions can be found here.
