A Ruby wrapper for the MarketData API.

$ gem install market_data

You must instantiate a MarketData::Client before running any method. You'll need your MarketData API token first.

$ client = MarketData::Client.new "YOUR_API_TOKEN"

$ client.quote("AAPL")
$ => <struct MarketData::Models::Quote symbol="AAPL", ask=231.42, askSize=2, bid=231.4, .....

For getting a single quote, run the quote method just as the example above.

• w52

For getting fields with 52-week low and high information, pass true as the w52 parameter.

$ q = client.quote("AAPL", w52=true)
$ => q.high52 = 252.11
$ => q.low52 = 222.35    

It is false by default.

• extended

For getting a quote when market is on extended hours, you have to supply the extended parameter as true.

It is false by default, so if you fetch a quote during extended hours without the parameter, you'll always get the quote at closing time.

For getting multiple quotes in a single request, use the bulk_candle method.

$ quotes = client.bulk_quotes(["AAPL", "AMD", "NOTAQUOTE])

$ quotes["AMD"] => <struct MarketData::Models::Quote symbol="AMD", ask=150.42, askSize=2, bid=146.4, .....

$ quotes["NOTAQUOTE"] = nil

If a quote is not found, the hashmap will return a nil value for that ticker's key.

• snapshot

If snapshot is true, any supplied array of symbols will be ignored and a complete snapshot of the market ticker's will be returned.

$ quotes = client.bulk_quotes([], snapshot = true)

$ quotes["A"] => <struct MarketData::Models::Quote symbol="A", ask=56.32, askSize=45, bid=67, .....
....
$ quotes["Z"] => <struct MarketData::Models::Quote symbol="Z", ask=25, askSize=3, bid=14.5, .....

This could use all you API credits. Use with caution.

• extended

For getting a quote when market is on extended hours, you have to supply the extended parameter as true.

It is false by default, so if you fetch a quote during extended hours without the parameter, you'll get the quote at closing time.

For getting ticker candles, you'll need to specify:

• a ticker symbol
• a resolution (M, D, W, etc. See docs for a complete list)
• a strategy to specfy a date range. You can use from and to OR to and countback.

As an example, for getting candles for last week, for the first strategy:

    $ quotes = client.candles("AAPL", "D", (Time.current - 1.week).iso8601, Time.current.iso8601, nil)

and for the second

    $ quotes = client.candles("AAPL", "D", nil, Time.current.iso8601, 7)

to and from can receive an ISO 8601 compliant utc format or a unix timestamp.

For the bulk_candles method you pass a array of ticker symbols. Resolution is daily by default, although any daily variation will work as well (like 2D, 3D, etc.)

It returns a hashmap with the ticker symbol as a key.

    $ candles = client.bulk_candles(["AAPL", "AMD", "NOTAQUOTE"])

    $ candles["AMD"]
    $ => #<struct MarketData::Models::Candle symbol="AMD", open=174.05, high=174.05, low=169.55, close=171.02, volume=33391035, time=1728446400>
    $ candles["AAPL"]
    $ => #<struct MarketData::Models::Candle symbol="AAPL", open=225.23, high=229.75, low=224.83, close=229.54, volume=31398884, time=1728446400>
    $ candles["NOTAQUOTE"] => nil

If a quote is not found, the hashmap will return a nil value for that ticker's key.

See the API docs for parameter specification.

    $ client.earnings("AAPL", from: (Time.now - MarketData::Constants::YEAR).iso8601, to: Time.now.iso8601, countback: nil, report: nil, date: nil)
    $ => [#<struct MarketData::Models::Earning
        symbol="AAPL",
        fiscal_year=2023,
        fiscal_quarter=4,
        date=1696046400,
        report_date=1698897600,
        report_time="after close",
        currency="USD",
        reported_eps=1.46,
        estimated_eps=1.39,
        surprise_eps=0.07,
        surprise_eps_pct=0.0504,
        updated=1728273600>,
        #<struct MarketData::Models::Earning
        symbol="AAPL",
        fiscal_year=2024,
        fiscal_quarter=1,
        ...
