# Get continuous WTI daily history

`GET /v1/futures/continuous/wti/historical`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.oilpriceapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/futures/continuous/wti/historical`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Daily, weekly and monthly intervals select the latest collected public futures snapshot per source date, falling back to collection date for legacy imports. These are revisable source daily bars, not official exchange settlements. Weekly/monthly OHLC combines selected daily bars in date order; cumulative daily volume is counted once. Missing daily volume makes the period volume null. Raw/hourly intervals retain stored snapshots. Access and historical depth depend on the caller's futures entitlement; metadata.history_window explains any applied date cap.

## Query parameters

- `from` string, date
- `to` string, date
- `interval` string

## Response `200`

Selected bars, or an empty prices array when no dates are available.
