start

The inclusive start of the interval. Format: RFC-3339 or YYYY-MM-DD. Default: the beginning of the current day, but at least 15 minutes ago if the user doesn't have real-time access for the feed.

end

date-time

The inclusive end of the interval. Format: RFC-3339 or YYYY-MM-DD. Default: the current time if the user has a real-time access for the feed, otherwise 15 minutes before the current time.

limit

integer

1 to 10000

Defaults to 1000

The maximum number of data points to return in the response page. The API may return less, even if there are more available data points in the requested interval. Always check the next_page_token for more pages. The limit applies to the total number of data points, not per symbol!

page_token

string

The pagination token from which to continue. The value to pass here is returned in specific requests when more data is available, usually because of a response result limit.

enum

Defaults to asc

Sort data in ascending or descending order.
