# Cron Intraday Price Refresh

`POST /cron/intraday-price-refresh`

## Request

- URL: `https://api.equity-rank.com/cron/intraday-price-refresh`
- Auth: none declared

Intraday screener_cache price refresh — Schwab batch quotes only.

Pulls real-time quotes for the full screener_cache universe from Schwab
(free, already the primary live-quote source) and applies them via the
apply_intraday_prices proc (mig 135), which recomputes mos_pct from the
stored consensus_fair_value so price and MoS stay algebraically consistent.
updated_at is untouched (batch-freshness semantics preserved); each applied
tick stamps price_updated_at.

Schedule: every 15 min, 13:30–20:00 UTC Mon–Fri (scheduler_setup.py).
Degrades gracefully — Schwab unconfigured/auth-dead → in-window top-of-hour
ticks (and in-window force=true) sweep yfinance instead (~39 chunked
yf.download calls, ~15-min-delayed quotes, same sanity band + proc); the
quarter ticks in between return status=skipped and the last applied
prices remain in place.

Isolated infrastructure: Schwab primary, yfinance fallback only (no
AlphaVantage quota, no screener batch).

Query params:
  force: bypass the market-hours window guard (manual/verification runs).
