Data API (REST)
Normalized equities, ETFs, options, crypto, FX and macroeconomic data over a single REST API, with endpoints and history depth unlocking by plan.
All endpoints are GET requests to https://api.apextick.com with your key in the apikey header. Responses are JSON, and dates use YYYY-MM-DD. For every parameter and schema, see the interactive API reference.
