Market Status
Market Status Details
The Market Status API will return, in real-time, the current status of a market, including:
- If a market is open or closed
- When the market opens or closes next
- The current trading phase (pre-, post-trading session, etc.)
- If there is currently a holiday or irregular schedule
You can use these details to:
- Build dashboards
- Add countdowns or market status indicators to your website or application
- Activate trading algorithms when markets open
- Detect market holidays and half-days

Schema
| Field | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| status | String | Open if it is currently a primary trading session. Closed otherwise, including for pre- and post-trading sessions. |
| reason | String | Explanation of the current response, including phase(s), holidays, and irregular schedules. |
| until | ISO 8601 | Displays the end of the current phase. |
| next_bell | ISO 8601 | Displays the time when the market opens or closes next. |
| timezone | String | Timezone of this trading venue (Olson timezone format) |
Note
until is not always the same as next_bell. For example, if it is currently a post-trading session, until will indicate the end of the post-trading session, and next_bell will be the following morning when markets officially open.
Query String Parameters
Supported query string parameters are listed in the table below:
| Parameter | Supported Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fin_id | Valid FinID(s) | N/A | Specify which market(s) to show data for. |
| time | ISO 8601 | Current time | Enterprise Only - Specify the time that you'd like the information for. |
Past & Future Times (Enterprise only)
Use the time query string parameter to specify a date and time. The time parameter should be in ISO 8601 format. E.g. 2020-02-27T01:23:45-05:00.
If the time parameter is omitted, the current time is used.
The time parameter can only be used by clients with access to the Market Holidays and Trading Hours data.
Caching
The results of the status API will not change until until. It is safe to cache results until this time. Caching requests and using bulk API calls will help you avoid exceeding the rate limits.
Examples
Remember to use your authentication token for all requests.
