Get a ticker's price history.

Job id `stocks.historical.prices`, in Market data (Stock market data). As of 2026-10-01, 2 providers serve it through 2 tools. Run `job:stocks.historical.prices` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

Fields the job's tools take, most shared first. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Taken by | Required by | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `date_from` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `date_to` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `exchange` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `filter` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `fmt` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `from` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `limit` | integer | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `offset` | integer | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `period` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `sort` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `symbols` | string | 1 of 2 | 1 |   |
| `ticker` | string | 1 of 2 | 1 |   |
| `to` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [EODHD](/providers/eodhd) | [`eodhd-eod`](/reference/tools/eodhd-eod) | $0.000033 per call |
| [Marketstack](/providers/marketstack) | [`marketstack-eod`](/reference/tools/marketstack-eod) | $0.000899 per call |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

Each provider answers in its own shape. Shape of the run's `result` from [`eodhd-eod`](/reference/tools/eodhd-eod), checked against 2 real answers:

```txt
{ low, date, high, open, close, volume, adjusted_close }[]
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:stocks.historical.prices","input":{"ticker":"<ticker>"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:stocks.historical.prices",
    input: {
      ticker: "<ticker>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:stocks.historical.prices",
        "input": {
            "ticker": "<ticker>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:stocks.historical.prices`.
