Overview

The Prices API lets you pull end-of-day (EOD) historical prices for a given ticker like Apple, Microsoft, and more. You can get prices by the day, week, month, or year. The price data is sourced from NYSE and NASDAQ and goes back 20+ years. The data is perfect for backtesting trading strategies, analyzing price patterns, rendering charts, and more. To get started, please create an account and grab your API key at financialdatasets.ai. You will use the API key to authenticate your API requests.

​
Available Tickers

You can fetch a list of available tickers with a GET request to: https://api.financialdatasets.ai/prices/tickers/

​
Getting Started

There are only 3 steps for making a successful API call:
  1. Add your API key to the header of the request as X-API-KEY.
  2. Add query params like ticker to filter the data.
  3. Execute the API request.

​
Example

Prices
import requests

# add your API key to the headers
headers = {
    "X-API-KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}

# set your query params
ticker = 'AAPL'
interval = 'day'         # possible values are {'day', 'week', 'month', 'year'}
start_date = '2025-01-02'
end_date = '2025-01-05'

# create the URL
url = (
    f'https://api.financialdatasets.ai/prices/'
    f'?ticker={ticker}'
    f'&interval={interval}'
    f'&start_date={start_date}'
    f'&end_date={end_date}'
)

# make API request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# parse prices from the response
prices = response.json().get('prices')
