# Daily Prices

> Daily open, high, low, close, adjusted close and volume for a listed security, in the listing's own currency.

Daily Prices provides the daily price series for a listed security: open, high, low, close, adjusted close and volume. Each observation is one symbol on one date, in that listing's own currency. Rows are returned newest date first.

## What You Can Use Daily Prices For

Chart a security's recent trading. Compute returns over a window. Pair a price move with an [8-K event](/events/8k-events) or a [news event](/news/news-events) on the same date. Value a position at a specific date's close.

## Daily Prices Coverage

<Warning>
  History starts **2025-07-14** — about one year. There is nothing before that date. An empty result for an earlier range is this dataset's start, not a security that did not trade.

  For a long history, use [Benchmarks](/market-data/benchmarks), which runs from 2015.
</Warning>

## One Row Per Symbol Per Date

A company with more than one listing returns **one row per symbol per date**, each naming its `symbol`.

Pick the listing you mean rather than assuming the first row is the one you want. A dual-listed company's two rows are in different currencies and are not interchangeable.

## Daily Prices Currency

Values are in the row's own `currency` and are **not converted**. A London listing quotes in GBp — pence — not pounds, so a close of `2450` is £24.50.

To compare sizes across countries, use [Company Screening](/companies/screening), which converts market capitalisation to US dollars.

## Daily Prices Date Convention

Each row is the trading session on that date, on the listing's own exchange calendar. Rows are returned newest first, and `date_gte` and `date_lte` bound the range.

## Daily Prices Sources

Prices come from market data vendors, as quoted on each listing's own exchange. Adjusted close is vendor-adjusted for corporate actions.

<Note>
  For a valuation ratio, use [Financial Metrics](/financials/metrics) rather than deriving one here. This endpoint serves the raw series.
</Note>

## Query Daily Prices

Use the market data endpoint with `series=prices`, which is the default.

<ParamField path="company_id" type="string" required>
  A ticker with its market suffix for non-US listings, a `company_id`, a CIK or an ISIN.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="series" type="string" default="prices">
  `prices` for this dataset, or `market_cap` for [daily market cap](/market-data/market-cap).
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="date_gte" type="string">
  Earliest date, `YYYY-MM-DD`. `date_lte` sets the ceiling.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="limit" type="integer" default="100">
  Rows per page, between 1 and 1000. Page through with `cursor`.
</ParamField>
