  • AAPL.US consists of two parts: {SYMBOL_NAME}.{EXCHANGE_ID}, then you can use, for example, AAPL.MX for Mexican Stock Exchange. or AAPL.US for NASDAQ. Check the list of supported exchanges to get more information about stock markets we do support.
  • api_token – your own API KEY, which you will get after you subscribe to our services.
  • function – the function that will be applied to data series to get technical indicator data. The list of possible functions with additional parameters you get below.
  • period – the number of data points used to calculate each moving average value. Valid range from 2 to 100000 with the default value – 50.
  • from and to – you can use these parameters with format ‘YYYY-MM-DD’. For example, if you need to get data only from Jan 5, 2017 to Feb 10, 2017, you need to use from=2017-01-05 and to=2017-02-10.
  • order – use ‘a’ for ascending dates (from old to new) and ‘d’ for descending dates (from new to old). By default, dates are shown in ascending order.
  • fmt – the output format, could be ‘json’ for JSON and ‘csv’ for CSV output. The default value is ‘json’.
  • splitadjusted_only – default value is ‘0’. By default, we calculate data for some functions by closes adjusted with splits and dividends. If you need to calculate the data by closes adjusted only with splits, set this parameter to ‘1’. Works with the following functions: sma, ema, wma, volatility, rsi, slope, and macd.

Technical Indicator API Functions

For all functions, you can use the following parameters as described above: to, from, order, fmt, and function. We have provided the specific usage for each function below.

By default Open, High, Low and Close values (OHLC) we provide in raw values and adjust neither for splits nor for dividends. While ‘adjusted_close’ values are adjusted both to splits and dividends. However, if you need only split-adjusted closes, you can use this function to get the desired time series.
