This route returns OHLCV bars for a ticker over a date range, sourced from Monid's DefiLlama `/equities/v1/ohlcv` endpoint. The provider gives daily bars. Week, month, and year bars are aggregated locally from those daily bars, and `time` on every bar is the bar's end date in UTC. ## What this answers * What a stock's open, high, low, close, and volume were on a given day, or across a range of days. ## Coverage | | | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Provider chain | DefiLlama `/equities/v1/ohlcv` | | Bar order | Ascending time, oldest bar first | | Measured cost | \$0.0006 per call | | Cache TTL | 60 seconds, see [Caching](/guides/caching) | ## Query rules `ticker`, `start_date`, and `end_date` are all required. This is stricter than the Financial Datasets schema, which lets both dates default (one year before `end_date`, and today, respectively) when omitted. This server does not compute those defaults, so both are required here. `interval` accepts `day`, `week`, `month`, or `year`. Second- and minute-level intervals from the Financial Datasets schema are not implemented and answer `400`. `interval_multiplier` must be `1`, multi-bar intervals like "every 5 days" are not implemented. ## Worked example ```bash curl theme={"theme":"css-variables"} curl -s 'https://financialdatasets.rip/prices?ticker=AAPL&start_date=2026-08-27&end_date=2026-08-28' \ -H 'X-API-KEY: ' ``` ```json Response theme={"theme":"css-variables"} { "prices": [ { "open": 310.55, "close": 314.58, "high": 315.4, "low": 309.4, "volume": 32419200, "time": "2026-08-27" }, { "open": 316.85, "close": 319.7, "high": 322.37, "low": 315.45, "volume": 38609800, "time": "2026-08-28" } ], "ticker": "AAPL" } ``` ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json GET /prices openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Monid Finance API version: 1.0.0 summary: A Financial Datasets-compatible finance REST API backed by Monid providers. description: >- US equities fundamentals, prices, filings, news, insider trades, and a stock screener, generated faithfully from this repository's Go source (go/httpapi/rest.go, go/service, go/fd). This server is drop-in compatible with the Financial Datasets REST and MCP interface: the same route shapes, the same query parameters, and response objects whose field names and field order match the Financial Datasets contract, captured 2026-09-04. It is an independent, Monid-backed implementation; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Financial Datasets, and no Financial Datasets data or outputs are used. **Bring your own Monid API key.** Every request carries the caller's own key in the `X-API-KEY` header. Usage bills that caller's own Monid wallet; this server never stores or logs the key. Get a key at https://monid.ai. **Coverage.** All 54 Financial Datasets REST paths are registered. all 54 return data; most call live Monid providers, and a handful (the static catalogs and the accept-universe coverage lists; see each operation's description) never call Monid at all. Every registered path answers from a live source; there are no not_implemented stubs. /kpi/metrics/sectors returns the screener provider's own industry taxonomy and /index-funds/tickers the upstream fund universe, both scraped through Monid on demand. See docs/compatibility.md for every deliberate deviation and docs/openapi-notes.md for how this document was derived. **Errors and soft failures.** Every failure — real HTTP error and zero-cost soft failure alike — uses the two-key body `{"error": , "message": }`. Some routes answer `not_found` with HTTP 200 rather than a 4xx status (see each operation's description). **Pagination.** List routes return a wrapped envelope (e.g. `{"income_statements": [...], "next_page_url": "..."}`) with opaque, server-minted base64url `cursor` tokens. Pages hold 10 records (100 for /prices). `next_page_url` is an absolute URL on this deployment's own host, present only when more records remain. **Ticker coverage lists are accept-universes, not data-coverage claims.** The eight `*/tickers` routes (e.g. /company/facts/tickers, /kpi/metrics/tickers) all answer from the same ~3,227-ticker US equity catalog: the tickers a route will ACCEPT as input, never a promise that every one of them has data for that particular dataset - this server has not measured per-dataset coverage. Their own `limit` (default 1000, max 5000) and `cursor` query parameters page through that shared universe independently of every other route's pagination convention above. contact: url: https://docs.financialdatasets.rip license: name: MIT identifier: MIT servers: - url: https://financialdatasets.rip description: Production (Fly.io). security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Financial statements description: Income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements. - name: Financial metrics description: Historical financial metrics and the live snapshot. - name: Earnings description: Earnings records composed from SEC filing events. - name: Filings description: SEC filing index and extracted filing sections. - name: Prices description: Historical OHLCV prices and the live price snapshot. - name: News description: Ticker-matched news. - name: Insider trades description: SEC Form 4 insider trading transactions. - name: Screener description: Stock screener and its executable filter catalog. - name: Company description: Company facts. - name: KPIs description: >- KPI-taxonomy metrics, forward guidance, and non-GAAP metrics extracted from SEC filings. - name: Macroeconomics description: Central bank policy interest rates. - name: Index funds description: ETF / index-fund holdings. - name: Institutional holdings description: SEC Form 13F institutional-holdings rows. - name: Ownership description: Insider, beneficial (13D/13G) and activist ownership state. - name: Not implemented description: >- Routes registered for Financial Datasets route parity; always a zero-cost not_implemented stub today. paths: /prices: get: tags: - Prices summary: Get historical OHLCV prices description: >- Fetches historical OHLCV price bars for a ticker over [start_date, end_date], sourced from Monid's DefiLlama `/equities/v1/ohlcv` endpoint (daily bars) and aggregated locally into week/month/year bars when requested.

Deviation from the FD JSON Schema: `start_date` and `end_date` are both functionally required here (400 bad_request "start_date and end_date are required" if either is missing) — this server does not compute the FD schema's documented defaults ("1 year before end_date" / "today"). `interval` supports day/week/month/year only; the FD schema's second/minute intervals are not implemented and answer 400. `interval_multiplier` must be 1 (multi-bar intervals are not implemented). operationId: get_stock_prices parameters: - name: ticker in: query required: true schema: type: string description: >- Uppercase-normalized ticker symbol (1-20 letters/digits/dots/hyphens). - name: interval in: query required: false schema: type: string enum: - day - week - month - year default: day description: >- Bar interval.
