}US Stocks add-on New
US stocks keep moving after 20:00 New York. The overnight add-on carries a derived, aggregated quote for the most traded US stocks through the night, on top of the regular and extended sessions you already stream. It is an add-on: not part of the standard US Stocks subscription, enabled per account on top of it. Read the docs.
Data quality
US names against the NBBO, international names against a selected dealer.

FAQ
The Stocks Data Feed gives you API access to stock quotes, trades, snapshots, and symbol discovery through a consistent REST structure. It is a practical fit for dashboards, fintech apps, trading analytics, portfolio tools, and internal monitoring, anywhere you need stock data without building and maintaining your own ingestion pipeline.
Yes, depending on your plan and the available symbol list. Coverage spans US and international equities, and the stocks symbols endpoint shows exactly which instruments and market-qualified identifiers are supported. That matters when a similar-looking ticker exists in more than one region; the symbol endpoint removes the guesswork.
Stocks use a market-qualified symbol format so the same code in different regions stays unambiguous. Rather than hardcoding naming rules, treat the symbol discovery endpoint as your source of truth for what is supported. This keeps search results, watchlists, portfolio holdings, and quote pages accurate as coverage changes.
Yes. REST handles quote lookups, snapshots, trades, and backend requests where you pull data on demand. WebSocket carries streaming quote and trade updates where available. You can lean on REST for request-based flows and add WebSocket for live market screens, all from the same platform.
Common builds include watchlists, portfolio dashboards, research tools, pricing widgets, market overview pages, and internal analytics. Because responses share a consistent shape, wiring stock data into frontend components, backend services, or reporting jobs is straightforward, which is usually where most of the integration time goes.
It is built for production use once you have validated coverage, freshness, limits, and plan access for your workflow. The data is intended for informational and analytical use, so regulated or order-routing systems should add their own validation, monitoring, and controls. As a rule, read response timestamps and handle stale or missing data gracefully.
