scheduled ones, plus `nextReport`: the soonest report dated today or
later that has not reported yet. Defaults to all history through 400
days ahead. A report whose date was moved appears once, on its
current date. Share classes accept `BRK.B`, `BRK-B` or `BRKB`.

| `date_end` | query | string (date) | no | Inclusive end (`YYYY-MM-DD`). Defaults to 400 days after today (ET). |

    "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
    "message": "Authentication required"

Headers: `X-Credits-Remaining`.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "insufficient_credits",
    "message": "Out of credits. Top up to continue making requests."
  }
}
```

### 403

Unknown, revoked or expired API key (the gateway's `forbidden`), the account's API access is suspended (`account_suspended`) or blocked (`account_blocked`). Not retryable.

badKey:

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "FORBIDDEN",
    "message": "Access to this API has been disallowed"
  }
}
```

accountSuspended:

  "error": {
    "code": "SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "Unknown ticker 'ZZZZQ'."
  }

  }
}
```

### 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.

tooFast:

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded."
  }
}
```

queryBudget:

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_QUERIES",
    "message": "This account already has 16 queries running on the shared query engine across all servers (limit ch.concurrent.customer). Cached answers are not affected. Retry after Retry-After; to backfill a day, follow meta.nextCursor instead of splitting time windows. See https://www.skylit.ai/docs/api-reference/rate-limits-and-retries",
    "retry_after": 1,
    "docs_url": "https://www.skylit.ai/docs/api-reference/errors#too_many_concurrent_queries"
  }
}
```

### 500

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

  "error": {
    "code": "INTERNAL_ERROR",
    "message": "Internal server error"
  }
}
```

### 503

Underlying data source temporarily unavailable, the credit balance could not be verified (`credit_check_failed`), or the API is paused for maintenance (`api_paused`, with a `Retry-After` header and a `retry_after` field in seconds). Not charged; safe to retry.

ingestionLag:

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "UNAVAILABLE",
    "message": "Live feed is degraded; please retry in a few seconds."
  }
}
```

creditCheckFailed:

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "credit_check_failed",
    "message": "Could not verify credit balance. Please retry."
  }
}
```

### 504

The request did not complete within 25 seconds. Not charged; narrow the window or retry.
