When a company is acquired, goes bankrupt, or otherwise leaves an exchange, its ticker is delisted, but its historical data does not disappear from EODHD. You can still list delisted symbols and pull their end-of-day prices, fundamentals, dividends, and splits. This is essential for survivorship-bias-free backtesting and long-horizon research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting delisted data is a two-step workflow: first find the delisted ticker in the exchange symbol list, then query the regular data endpoints with that ticker.<\/p>\n\n\n

Scope at a glance. Delisted symbols are retrieved per exchange with the delisted=1 flag; the US list alone returns tens of thousands of symbols across stocks, ETFs, and funds. Once you have a delisted ticker, the standard EOD, Fundamentals, Dividends, and Splits endpoints work exactly as they do for active tickers. Symbol Change History helps when a ticker was renamed rather than delisted (US only).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n

Data Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 \u2014 Find Delisted Tickers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use the Exchange Symbol List endpoint with delisted=1. This returns only the delisted (inactive) symbols for the exchange, not the active ones. The exchange code is part of the path, for example US for the combined US exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n
