Questions about the API

Which stock indices are available?
We support five major indices: S&P 500 (sp500), Dow Jones Industrial Average (dowjones), Nasdaq Composite (nasdaq), VIX Volatility Index (vix), and Nikkei 225 (nikkei225).
How far back does the historical data go?
Historical data is available from 2010 to the present. You can query specific months by providing both year and month parameters.
How often is the data updated?
Index values are updated daily after market close. The data reflects closing values for each trading day.
Can I get data for a specific month?
Yes, use the year and month parameters together to retrieve data for a specific month. For example, year=2024&month=1 returns January 2024 data.
What does the VIX index measure?
The VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) measures expected market volatility based on S&P 500 options. Higher values indicate greater expected volatility, often called the "fear index".
Are weekend and holiday values included?
No, only trading day values are included. Weekends and market holidays are excluded from the data.
