Inputs

requestType^required

The type of response requested from the API. getStudies will return the list of all available indicators with their input sources, periodicity, offset, and meta information. getStudy will return the data for the requested indicator.

Type

enum (A type which includes a list of valid possible values.)

Example

getStudy

Default

getStudies

Valid Values

getStudies, getStudy

symbol^required

A symbol or code that identifies a financial instrument.

Type

string (A sequence of characters. (example: GOOG))

Example

AAPL

studyId^required

A valid indicator code that identifies a technical indicator when the argument is passed to getStudies.

Type

string (A sequence of characters. (example: GOOG))

Example

MA

unit^required

This parameter specifies whether the data to be returned should be tick, minutes (intraday), day (daily), weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly.

Type

enum (A type which includes a list of valid possible values.)

Default

day

Valid Values

tick, intraday, day, week, month, quarter, year

numberOfBars^optional

The maximum number of records requested over the requested date range.

Type

int (A numeric type defining a whole number. (example: 2))

Example

100

Default

640

inputs^optional

You can pass any valid input values for the selected study that are not always returned via this parameter. For example, for Moving Average (MA), you can pass values as - inputs[Period]=50&inputs[Source]=Open&inputs[Offset]=1. For an input field of type enumeration, please ensure you pass a value from the provided list of values.

Type

array (A data structure that contains a group of elements.)

spec^optional

This parameter is used to specify whether the data should be plain, nearest or continuation records. Nearest and continuation are ignored for equities, and if specified the query will simply return plain records.

Type

enum (A type which includes a list of valid possible values.)

Default

none

Valid Values

none, nearest, continue, per_count, per_volume, per_range, per_seconds, top_of_book

isContractVolume^optional

For futures, this parameter determines whether the returned volume should be the contract volume or the total volume. By default, it returns the total volume.

Type

boolean (A logical type representing the truth of a value as 'true' or 'false'.)

Example

true

dividendsAdjust^optional

Turns on/off dividends adjustment for stock data. By default it is off.

Type

boolean (A logical type representing the truth of a value as 'true' or 'false'.)

Example

true

backAdjust^optional

This parameter specifies whether the contracts in the series will be adjusted based on the roll-gap between the closing prices of the current contract and the previous contract on the day of the switch. Valid values are true and false. If not specified, the default value is false resulting in a non-adjusted query. Adjustments are reflected starting from the current date, regardless if an end date is set or not. This parameter only applies to multi-contract futures queries and is ignored for all other queries.

Type

boolean (A logical type representing the truth of a value as 'true' or 'false'.)

Example

true

daysToExpiration^optional

This parameter specifies the number of calendar days prior to a contract expiration when the series of contracts will be switched to the next contract in the series. Valid values are 0 through 60. A value of 0 will tell the system to use the day of expiration. If not specified, the default value (1) is used, resulting in each contract in the series to run until (and including) the day prior to its expiration. This parameter only applies to multi-contract futures queries and is ignored for all other queries.

Type

int (A numeric type defining a whole number. (example: 2))

Example

1

Default

contractRoll^optional

For futures, this parameter determines the switch from one contract to the next in the series is calculated. When the value specified is 'expiration', the switch from one contract to the next in the series will be based on the expiration date (and the value of the 'daystoexpiration' parameter if specified). When the value specified is 'combined', a combination of volume and openinterest will be used to determine when to switch from one contract to the next in the series (when using this value, the 'daystoexpiration' parameter is ignored).

Type

enum (A type which includes a list of valid possible values.)

Default

combined

Valid Values

combined, expiration

decimalPrecision^optional

The decimal precision to be applied to the requested study fields in the response.

Type

enum (A type which includes a list of valid possible values.)

Default

auto

Valid Values

auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
