fundamentals_price_snapshot

Latest quote for one ticker. Call this when the user asks what the price is now or how the stock is moving today; for history use /fundamentals/prices. price is the last trade in ANY session; price_session says which (the closing auction print, stamped just after the bell, is regular) and as_of when. Sessions, US Eastern: pre 04:00-09:30, regular 09:30-16:00, post 16:00-20:00 (half-days: regular to 13:00, post to 17:00), closed otherwise and on weekends and exchange holidays. market_session (and session, the same value) is the session when the answer is served. day_change = price - prev_close, and day_change_percent is that over prev_close in percent points (1.5 = 1.5%); prev_close is the regular-session close of prev_close_date. Outside regular hours they include extended-hours trading. Every change is the exact price difference and every percent has 6 significant figures. For how the stock did in its latest regular session use regular_session {date, status in_progress|closed, open, high, low, close (null until final, 5 minutes after the bell), last, volume (whole shares, extended hours included: once the session is final, the daily aggregate's, the figure /fundamentals/prices serves; while it forms, the live day bar's running tally, which can differ by a few hundred shares), prev_close, prev_close_date, change, change_percent}; for the move since that close use extended_hours {session pre|post, price, as_of, reference_close, reference_close_date, change, change_percent}, null in regular hours or when the last trade was a regular-session trade. day_* is the bar of day_bar_date (before the open, the previous session's); day_volume is its running tally in whole shares. bid/ask are served only while the exchange is in a session, and only a quote set during that session (quote_as_of, when the quote last changed, at or after the session's start); else null. session_detail_status says why a session field is null: partial (a date or an earlier close could not be established) or unavailable. State the session and date with any move; never report an extended-hours move as a session's change. CRYPTO: pass asset_class=crypto for BTC/ETH/SOL/LTC/LINK etc. Several crypto symbols are ALSO US-listed equity tickers (BTC is a Grayscale trust at ~$29; LINK is Interlink Electronics), so a bare ticker returns the EQUITY. Never use an equity price for a crypto asset. Check is_stale before using the price. VALUATION (equity, on the live price, when valuation_status is 'ok'; otherwise null): pe_ttm = price / eps_ttm (diluted, four consecutive fiscal quarters, today's share basis); forward_pe = pe_ttm / (1 + the latest fiscal year's EPS growth, or net-income growth when a split sits between the years), trailing arithmetic, NOT an analyst consensus; dividend_yield is a FRACTION (0.0225 = 2.25%): split-adjusted regular cash dividends with an ex-date in the last 365 days over the price, null for a non-payer; dividend_yield_indicated uses the latest declared regular dividend x payments per year; dividend gives the per-share figures, dates and status; units names each unit.

Response

A 200 is a JSON envelope: ok: true and this endpoint's own fields (see Fundamentals). It carries X-Request-ID, the credit headers (X-Credits-Cost, X-Credits-Remaining, X-Credits-Receipt, X-Credits-Settlement) and the rate-limit headers.

A 200 is billed even when it holds no data (an empty list, null, found: false), so check those fields. Pricing & credits explains the credit headers.

Errors

No error is billed. The body is { "ok": false, "error", "detail", "request_id" }; read the code from error.

ErrorMeaning
400 invalid_tickerThe request is malformed, for example a ticker that is not a symbol: invalid_ticker, refused before any credit is reserved, with param naming the parameter. Not billed.
401 unauthorizedMissing or invalid API key.
402 plan_requiredYour plan does not include this tool, you are out of credits, or your workspace's spend cap paused its keys. plan_required names the plan that unlocks the tool; usage_exceeded means the credit balance is spent; spend_cap_reached means the key is paused until the cap resets or is raised: detail names the cap and the reset, cap_usd and resets_at (ISO 8601) carry them, and doc_url links pricing and credits. Not billed.
403 scope_deniedThis API key is limited to some products and this tool is not one of them. product names the tool's product and scopes the key's products. An upgrade does not change it: use a key whose scopes include the product, or change this key's scopes. Not billed.
404 unknown_tickerNo data source lists this ticker, active or delisted: the market-data listing and the security master both say it does not exist. param names the parameter. Not billed. Best-effort: it is answered only when the route itself found nothing, and after 20 lookups of new symbols per API key per minute the route's own answer stands.
422 validationA parameter is missing, out of range or the wrong type; param names it. Not billed.
429 rate_limitedYour plan's rate limit is spent for this window. Retry after Retry-After seconds. Not billed.
503 paid_data_unavailableThe data could not be served completely right now; retry later. Not billed.
504 request_timeoutThe request ran past the server's time budget; retry. Not billed.

This table lists what the spec declares for this route. Error responses lists every code FIRM sends, with when to retry.
