# Authentication
# Overview
All API endpoints require an API token. If you are a subscriber, visit your account page to create an API token. (opens new window)
Please Note: You must have an active subscription of Market Status API or Enterprise API Access to use the APIs.
Notice
Our pricing is structured around what data you need. This results in different plans with different levels of access. Keep in mind, you may not have access to all endpoints or markets. For details, please contact us.
# Details
You can authenticate using the api_token query string parameter (opens new window) or as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of the request.
In examples throughout the API documentation we omit the api_token parameter for clarity, but it is required.
# Example
https://api.tradinghours.com/v3/markets/status?fin_id=us.nyse,jp.jpx&api_token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
Important
For the APIs to return data, you need to replace "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" with your API token. Get your API Token here. (opens new window)
