Responses

  • 200

    Disclosure lines, newest disclosure first.

  • 400

    Request validation failed.

  • 401

    Missing or invalid API key.

  • 402

    The account's shared Skylit credit balance is lower than this route's cost. Top up to continue. Carries X-Credits-Remaining: 0.

  • 404

    Unknown ticker or contract (SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND), or no data for the requested window. Not charged.

  • 429

    Either the key exceeded its requests-per-minute limit (X-RateLimit-Limit; no Retry-After, wait until X-RateLimit-Reset), or the account is over one of the API's own limits, such as the query budget (queries running at once, fresh queries per second): TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_QUERIES or RATE_LIMITED with Retry-After. Not charged; retry after the wait.

  • 500

    Unexpected server error (INTERNAL_ERROR, DATABASE_ERROR). Not charged; safe to retry with exponential backoff.
