https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?api_token=demo&fmt=json

curl --location "https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?api_token=demo&fmt=json"

    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
));

$data = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

try {
    $data = json_decode($data, true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);
    var_dump($data);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error. '.$e->getMessage();
}

import requests

url = f'https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?api_token=demo&fmt=json'
data = requests.get(url).json()

print(data)

response <- GET(url)

if (http_type(response) == "application/json") {

Timestamp field explanation

Multiple Tickers with One Request

Add the ‘s=’ parameter to your URL, and you will be able to retrieve data for multiple tickers in a single request. All tickers should be separated by a comma. For example, you can request data for AAPL.US, VTI, and EUR.FOREX with the following URL:

https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?s=VTI,EUR.FOREX&api_token=demo&fmt=json

curl --location "https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?s=VTI,EUR.FOREX&api_token=demo&fmt=json"

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_URL => 'https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?s=VTI,EUR.FOREX&api_token=demo&fmt=json',
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
));

$data = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

try {
    $data = json_decode($data, true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);
    var_dump($data);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error. '.$e->getMessage();
}

import requests

url = f'https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?s=VTI,EUR.FOREX&api_token=demo&fmt=json'
data = requests.get(url).json()

print(data)

library(httr)
library(jsonlite)

url <- 'https://eodhd.com/api/real-time/AAPL.US?s=VTI,EUR.FOREX&api_token=demo&fmt=json'
response <- GET(url)

if (http_type(response) == "application/json") {
    content <- content(response, "text", encoding = "UTF-8")
    cat(content)
} else {
    cat("Error while receiving data\n")
}

Please note that ‘AAPL.US’ is used here at the beginning, and additional tickers are added with the ‘s=’ parameter.

We recommend limiting the number of tickers per request to 15-20 for optimal performance.

JSON and CSV formats

We support live (delayed) stock price data in both JSON and CSV formats. If you prefer CSV output, simply change ‘fmt=json’ to ‘fmt=csv’ or remove this parameter altogether.

Daily limits

Our API has a limit of 100,000 requests per day, with each symbol request counting as 1 API call. For instance, a request for multiple tickers with 10 symbols will consume 10 API calls.
