https://api.ortex.com/api/v1/stock/{exchange_symbol}/{ticker}/closing_prices

Daily prices for global equities with open high low and close as well as volume on main exchange or all exchanges.

Available Data Points:

Date: Date of prices.
Open: Open price.
High: Highest price reached on the date.
Low: Lowest price reached on the date.
Close: Close price.
Volume: Volume traded on the exchange selected or total volumen traded on all exchanges where the company security is listed, depending on parameter.

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 Tickers get reused, renamed and delisted, so by default a ticker that is no longer active returns 404 and a recycled ticker resolves to today's owner.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.

Path Params

exchange_symbol

string

required

Exchange symbol (e.g. "nyse", "nasdaq"), MIC code (e.g. "xnys", "xnas") or two character ISO country code (e.g "us", "ca" for ALL country exchanges)

ticker

string

required

Ticker symbol

Query Params

from_date

string

format yyyy-mm-dd or number of days before to_date. Default: 30 days before to_date if present

ticker_as_of_date

string

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.

to_date

string

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

volume_from_all_exchanges

boolean

If true, volume is aggregated across all exchanges. Default: false
