Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n <\/svg><\/span>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n

Live (Delayed) Quote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
