research_read
Read any research dataset by slug (discover via research_datasets). ?ticker= pushes an exact server-side filter down the dataset's own symbol column when it has one; datasets keyed by an internal security id instead state explicitly that ticker was ignored. The implied_vol_by_ticker slug REQUIRES ?ticker= and resolves the symbol to that id automatically before pushdown. The cds_composites slug serves the FULL 2005–2025 spread history. Unfiltered reads are capped at 5000 rows.
Parameters

tickerstringOptionalExchange symbol — pushed down the dataset's own symbol column.

1 to 9999999gvkeystringOptionalIssuer key, 1-6 digits — only on datasets keyed by it (security_issuer_links, fundamentals_pit_report_dates); 422 elsewhere.
Response
A 200 is a JSON envelope: ok: true and this endpoint's own fields (see Research Datasets). 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_; read the code from error.
| Error | Meaning |
|---|---|
400 invalid_ticker | The 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 unauthorized | Missing or invalid API key. |
402 plan_required | Your 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_denied | This 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 not_found | No such resource. Not billed. |
422 validation | A parameter is missing, out of range or the wrong type; param names it. Not billed. |
429 rate_limited | Your plan's rate limit is spent for this window. Retry after Retry-After seconds. Not billed. |
503 paid_ | The data could not be served completely right now; retry later. Not billed. |
504 request_timeout | The request ran past the server's time budget; retry. Not billed. |
