Overview

The Live (Delayed) Data API returns the latest OHLCV snapshot for a symbol: open, high, low, close, volume, previous close, and change, refreshed at a one-minute frequency. It covers US and global stocks, ETFs, funds, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Request one symbol in the path, or several at once with the s parameter. Each symbol returns a single quote object.

Prices are delayed: 15-20 minutes for stocks and about 1 minute for forex. For true real-time trades and quotes use the WebSockets Real-Time API instead.

Live (Delayed) Quote

Retrieve the latest delayed quote for a symbol. The path segment is the symbol in TICKER.EXCHANGE form, for example AAPL.US or EUR.FOREX.

Single Value Output

Set the filter parameter to a field name to return only that field’s value as a single bare value, instead of the full quote. This is convenient for spreadsheet functions such as the Excel WEBSERVICE function. For example, filter=close returns the latest price and filter=change_p returns the percentage change.

Timestamp Field Explanation

We use Unix time for our timestamp field. Unix time represents a point in time by counting the number of seconds that have passed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on Thursday, January 1, 1970. You can easily check and convert all our timestamps using this tool.
