Resolving renamed, delisted or moved tickers (US only)
ticker_as_of_date (yyyy-mm-dd) selects which instrument the ticker refers to, as of that date. It changes instrument resolution only — it does not filter the returned data (the date range is still from_date / to_date). Tickers get reused, renamed and delisted, so by default a ticker that is no longer active returns 404 and a recycled ticker resolves to today's owner. With this set, the URL path exchange is ignored and all US exchanges are searched for whoever held the ticker on that date, letting you pull history for a company that has since changed ticker, delisted, or moved exchange. Omit it for the current, unchanged behaviour; a non-US instrument with this parameter returns 400.

Query parameters
format yyyy-mm-dd or number of days before to_date. Default: 30 days before to_date if present
US instruments only. Picks which instrument a ticker refers to, as of the given date (format yyyy-mm-dd).
What it does: changes instrument resolution only. It does not filter or move the returned data — that stays controlled by the endpoint's own data parameters (such as from_date / to_date, or as_of_date on the options endpoints). Think of it as answering "who owned this ticker on this date?", not "what data do I want back?".
Why you need it: tickers get reused, renamed and delisted over time (e.g. FB → META; SPLK was delisted when Cisco acquired Splunk). By default the endpoint matches the ticker on the exchange in the URL path to the currently-active instrument — so a ticker that no longer trades returns 404, and a recycled ticker resolves to today's owner, not the historical one.
When set: the URL path exchange is ignored and all US exchanges are searched for whichever instrument held the ticker on that date. This lets you pull history for a company that has since changed ticker, delisted, or moved exchange.
Rules:
- Omitted → current behaviour, exactly unchanged.
- Present (any value, even blank or a future date) → as-of resolution is applied; a blank value defaults to today.
- A non-US exchange / MIC / country code combined with this parameter returns 400.
Note: on the options endpoints this is distinct from as_of_date, which filters the option data snapshot — ticker_as_of_date only selects the instrument.
format yyyy-mm-dd or text LATEST for current date. Default: 30 days after from_date if present. Maximum 30 days range. If run with no dates, will return data for latest available day
If true, volume is aggregated across all exchanges. Default: false
