Get a financial instrument quote

Returns ONE rich, unified Quote for a financial instrument keyed by its keyword (TICKER:EXCHANGE for stocks/ETFs/indices, e.g. 'GOOGL:NASDAQ' / 'VOO:NYSEARCA' / '.INX:INDEXSP', or a forex/crypto pair, e.g. 'EUR-USD' / 'BTC-USD'). A single call bundles the live price + intraday graph, fundamentals (market cap, P/E, dividend yield, 52-week range, volumes), the company profile (CEO, founded, HQ, employees), quarterly + annual financials (equities), and peer instruments: all on ONE canonical shape across stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, and forex, distinguished by quote.type. Forex/crypto pairs populate quote.pair (base/quote symbols) and have a null ticker. Get the exact keyword from /v1/finance/ticker-search. Read live from the Google Finance SERP (~5-10s).

Query parameters

keywordstring required

Instrument identifier: TICKER:EXCHANGE for stocks/ETFs/indices ('GOOGL:NASDAQ', '.INX:INDEXSP') or a forex/crypto pair ('EUR-USD', 'BTC-USD'). Use the id returned by ticker-search.

Headers

Cache-Controlstring

Send no-cache to bypass the response cache and force a live fetch. Billed at the normal endpoint cost; the fresh result is written back to cache for the next caller. Only the no-cache directive triggers this. See the Response Schema guide for details.

Idempotency-Keystring

Optional UUID that makes the request safely retriable. The key is reserved atomically per account before billing. A concurrent retry receives 409 IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS with a Retry-After of 1 second while the original is young, growing to a quarter of the time it has been running (at most 30); a crashed reservation expires after 5 minutes. A replay keeps the cached payload immutable except for billing metadata: credits_used becomes 0, idempotent_replay becomes true, and credits_remaining is refreshed to the current balance. A known current balance appears in both the body and X-Credits-Remaining header; no balance row resolves to 0. On a transient lookup failure, body credits_remaining is null and X-Credits-Remaining is omitted. Completed outcomes expire after 24 hours. If the claim store is unavailable, the request fails closed before billing. GET endpoints do not combine idempotent replay with Server-Sent Events: use Accept: application/json when sending this header. The unsupported key-plus-SSE combination is rejected before billing.

Response

Successful response

successboolean required

Whether the request succeeded

platformstring required

Platform name

endpointstring required

API endpoint path

credits_usedinteger required

Number of credits consumed

credits_remaininginteger nullable required

Current account balance, or null when this response could not establish one. Free cache hits always return null because they do not establish an authoritative post-request balance. An idempotency replay also returns null when its current-balance lookup fails. It is never a fabricated zero, so a zero here means the account really is empty. The authoritative reading is the one on a billed response, which comes straight from the deduction.

request_idstring required

Unique request identifier for support

cachedboolean required

Whether the response was served from cache

idempotent_replayboolean

True only when this response is an idempotency replay
