The job

What the Stock quote API gives your agent

A quote is the latest price of a stock and the numbers around it. Your agent sends a ticker and reads back the price, the change on the day, the day's range and the volume. That covers a portfolio check, a pre-meeting brief and any answer that starts from what a share costs now.

The providers differ in how fresh the number is. One returns delayed real-time prices for one or several tickers. Two return the latest end-of-day and the latest intraday bar for a symbol. One returns the quote tab of Google Finance live. Read the notes before you call it a live price, because delayed is the rule for most of these.

Sample calls

The request and what comes back

Each run is one POST to /v1/runs with an endpoint id and an input. These are illustrative calls with generic values. The run's result holds the provider's own fields.

Request
{"endpointId":"eodhd-real-time","input":{"ticker":"AAPL.US"},"wait":30}
ResponseSample output
// POST /v1/runs, then read run.status and run.result
// result: returns delayed real-time prices for one ticker, with more tickers through an extra parameter

Before you start

Settle these before the first run

  • Check the delay. Delayed real-time means the price is minutes old, and end-of-day means yesterday's close. Neither is an order price.
  • Use the exchange suffix when a provider asks for it. The same company trades on several exchanges, and a bare ticker can match the wrong one.
  • This is data, not advice. Your agent can report a price, and it does not know your situation.
