XigniteGlobalHistorical v3 Overview

End-of-Day Stock Data and Historical Stock Prices API

This API offers historical prices for equities trading on more than 80 global exchanges. In addition to closing prices, the API supports open, high, low, volume, VWAP, TWAP, and other market statistics going back to 1/1/1994 for US exchanges and 1/1/2000 for most international exchanges. The API also provides automatic identifier stitching for changes resulting from corporate action events such as symbol or CUSIP changes. This API lets you request corporate action-adjusted historical prices for events such as splits, cash dividends, stock distributions, bonus shares, scrips, and spinoffs.
