Quote
The Quote end point delivers a complete, normalized view of a security’s current market state in a single, high-performance API call. It provides the latest price, full OHLC context, volume, extended hours pricing, and key reference metrics — all enriched with consistent timestamps, source attribution, and exchange metadata. Designed for both applications and AI agents, it removes the need to stitch together multiple feeds or interpret inconsistent field structures.
At its core is an intelligent price resolution engine that selects the best source available at any point in time - the VNXS synthetic (indicative) real-time price when subscribed via EDGE, or the 15-minute delayed SIP price when not. For commercial use of delayed Nasdaq-listed data, UTP licensing is required for commercial customers. This logic dynamically adapts to market conditions, trading activity, and entitlements, ensuring every consumer receives the most appropriate and compliant price without managing underlying complexity
The result is a single, authoritative market snapshot that combines speed, normalization, and embedded compliance into a unified interface — effectively solving the “last price problem” once, and making it reliably consumable across applications, platforms, and agents.
