This route returns the most recent price and day change for a ticker, sourced from the same /equities/v1/summary endpoint the financial metrics snapshot uses.

What this answers

What a stock is trading at right now, and how much it moved today.

Coverage


Provider chain	DefiLlama `/equities/v1/summary`
Measured cost	$0.0006 per call
Cache TTL	60 seconds, see Caching

Query rules

ticker is required, and it is the only parameter this route accepts. time_milliseconds is declared on the PriceSnapshot schema but our own live captures never populate it. It is schema-legal and left out of the response rather than guessed.

Worked example

curl

curl -s 'https://financialdatasets.rip/prices/snapshot?ticker=AAPL' \
  -H 'X-API-KEY: <your-api-key>'

Response

{
  "snapshot": {
    "price": 318.27,
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "day_change": -9.94,
    "day_change_percent": -3.029,
    "time": "2026-09-04T15:01:00Z"
  }
}

Authorizations

X-API-KEY

string

header

required

The caller's own Monid API key (get one at https://monid.ai?fpr=dhruv-15136b). Passed straight through to Monid on every call, so usage bills the caller's own wallet — this is never a shared server-side credential, and the server never logs or stores it. Missing, empty, or malformed values answer 401 unauthorized before any paid call is attempted.

Query Parameters

ticker

string

required

Uppercase-normalized ticker symbol (1-20 letters/digits/dots/hyphens).

Response

Real AAPL snapshot captured from our own live API (docs/our-live-samples/price_snapshot.json).

Snapshot envelope: {"snapshot": {...}}.

snapshot

PriceSnapshot · object

required

Latest price snapshot for one ticker. Every field is a pointer with omitempty in the Go source: unsourced values are omitted from the response, never nulled or fabricated.
