Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, but you must have a premium subscription. Commercial use of the Stock Price API is not permitted on the free tier. See our pricing page to choose a plan that fits your needs.
  • Sign up for a free account to instantly get your API key, then pass it in the X-Api-Key header on every request. The documentation above includes ready-to-run examples in cURL, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, and more.
  • Your API requests will simply be denied once you hit your monthly quota — you will never be charged more than the plan you signed up for. To increase your quota, you can upgrade your plan any time on our pricing page.
  • The API responds with a standard HTTP status code and a JSON error message describing the problem. See our error codes reference for the full list of codes and how to resolve each one, or contact support if you need help.
  • Send a GET request to the /v1/stockprice endpoint with the ticker parameter set to a stock symbol such as AAPL or an index symbol such as ^DJI for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The response returns the current price, updated timestamp and volume, while name, exchange and currency are premium only fields; for company metadata see the Ticker API.
  • Premium members receive live, real-time prices while free users get 15-minute delayed data; the updated field gives the Unix timestamp of the last price update. You can upgrade for live pricing on the pricing page.
  • Yes. The premium /v1/stockpricehistorical endpoint returns OHLCV data as a JSON array of objects with open, high, low, close, volume and time fields, and you can control the interval with the period parameter (values from 1m up to 1d) along with optional start and end Unix timestamps. Historical access is unlocked via pricing.
  • Use the premium /v1/stockpricelist endpoint, which returns a paginated JSON array of objects with ticker and name fields; control paging with the offset and limit parameters (limit must be between 1 and 1000). For fund pricing instead, see the related ETF API and Mutual Fund API.
