About the BTI data

Daily bars. 6,512 sessions from Jan 4, 2000 to Nov 13, 2026, one row per JSE trading day with open, high, low, close and volume. Prices are adjusted for splits and cash dividends so the series is comparable across its whole length; the API also serves the raw, split only and dividend only views.

Minute bars. Stored from Sep 16, 2026 forward, most recent session Nov 13, 2026. Minute history is captured from the day collection began and is never backfilled, so this start date is exact. Five minute, fifteen minute and hourly bars are derived from these minutes.

Time and currency. Session dates are JSE trading days; minute timestamps are UTC. Prices are in ZAR. Volume is shares traded on the session.

Get the data. The REST endpoint returns the daily series as JSON with pagination; a free key serves the last year, Quant and above the full history back to Jan 4, 2000, and minute bars come with the paid windows. It takes timeframe (1Min, 5Min, 15Min, 1Hour, 1Day), adjustment, start and end. See the bars endpoint and authentication, and pricing for the plan windows.
