# Live quotes for up to 50 stocks

`GET /v1/quotes/live`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tapetide.com`
- URL: `https://api.tapetide.com/v1/quotes/live`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Latest traded price, change, OHLC and volume for up to 50 symbols in one call. Rows are positional: one per requested symbol, in the order given, with `found: false` for unknown symbols. Prices refresh within ~15 seconds during the session; outside it they are the last session's close. Not paginated — the whole batch is one page.

## Query parameters

- `symbols` string[], required
- `limit` integer
- `cursor` string

## Response `200`
