# Historical quotes

`GET /v2/stocks/quotes`

The historical stock quotes API provides quote data for a list of stock symbols between the specified dates.

The returned results are sorted by symbol first, then by the quote timestamp. This means that you are likely to see only one symbol in your first response if there are enough quotes for that symbol to hit the limit you requested.

In these situations, if you keep requesting again with the `next_page_token` from the previous response, you will eventually reach the other symbols if any quotes were found for them.

## Query parameters

- `symbols` string, required
- `start` string, date-time
- `end` string, date-time
- `limit` integer
- `asof` string
- `feed` 'iex' | 'otc' | 'sip' | 'boats'
- `currency` string
- `page_token` string
- `sort` 'asc' | 'desc' — Sort data in ascending or descending order.

## Response `200`

OK

- StockQuotesResp
  - `currency` string
  - `next_page_token` string, nullable, required — Pagination token for the next page.
  - `quotes` object, required

## Other responses

- `400` — One of the request parameters is invalid. See the returned message for details.
- `401` — Authentication headers are missing or invalid. Make sure you authenticate your request with a valid API key.
- `403` — The requested resource is forbidden.
- `429` — Too many requests. You hit the rate limit. Use the X-RateLimit-... response headers to make sure you're under the rate limit.
