This endpoint returns the latest price for a symbol on a given exchange and timeframe. It lets you fetch price alongside indicators in the same bulk request, using the same parameters.
Price formula
| Output | Calculation |

| Price | Latest close from the candle feed |
How to read Price in your code
| Signal | Meaning | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Latest price | Current value of the forming candle | value |
| Closed price | Last completed candle | value with backtrack=1 |
Limitations: It is candle-based market data, not a live order book quote. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
Compare the last two closed Price values
Use backtrack=1 to skip the candle still forming, and results=2 to compare the last two closed candles. Arrays run oldest first.

}Price API FAQ
What does the Price API return?
It returns value, plus a timestamp for the request. Results are JSON.
Is the latest Price value final?
No. The newest value belongs to the candle still forming and can change until it closes. Add backtrack=1 to read the last closed candle.
Can I get Price for US stocks?
Yes. Use exchange=stocks with a ticker such as AAPL. US stocks are included on the Pro plan and above.
