Do they have an official public API? If so, could you give us a link to the documentation?

The api I am using to access to investopedia is https://github.com/kirkthaker/investopedia-trading-api. Hop this Will be enough and useful to Whitelist thé domain.

Unfortunately that's not enough -- what we need is documentation from investopedia themselves saying that it's OK to access their site programmatically. A third-party API (which appears to access the site using screen-scraping techniques) isn't enough.
