Minute bars. Stored from Sep 17, 2026 forward, most recent session Sep 28, 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.

It takes timeframe (1Min, 5Min, 15Min, 1Hour, 1Day), adjustment, start and end. See the bars endpoint and authentication, and pricing for the plan windows.
