Getting Started with Launchpad
Polygon Launchpad provides everything you need to connect your application to the financial markets. Use our best-in-class technology to access news, charts, history, corporate actions, and more for any security.
Authentication
Pass your API key in the query string like follows:
Alternatively, you can add an Authorization header to the request with your API Key as the token in the following form:
Edge User Insights
Use custom request headers to pass along info about the user, location, and user agent that originated each API call so that Launchpad can provide usage analytics, track trends, and alert you to any problems.
X-Polygon-Edge-ID (required) - An alias that you can use to correlate usage in Polygon back to an individual user of your application. This should be a string, unique for each individual user of your application who accesses data. We'll keep logs and trends associated with each individual edge user, but their true identity is known only to you. We also use this information to calculate your Monthly Active Users for billing.
This should be a string between 1 and 80 characters long.
X-Polygon-Edge-IP-Address (required) - The IP Address information of the edge user originating the call. We use this for location insights, and to help you monitor for abuse.
This should be a string in IPv4 dotted decimal ("192.0.2.1"), IPv6 ("2001:db8::68"), or IPv4-mapped IPv6 ("::ffff:192.0.2.1") form.
X-Polygon-Edge-User-Agent - The User Agent information of the edge user originating the call. This can be used to see trends across different platforms, or different versions of your client application.
This should be a string between 1 and 80 characters long.
Usage
Many of Polygon.io's REST endpoints allow you to extend query parameters with inequalities like date.lt=2021-01-01 (less than) and date.gte=2020-01-01 (greater than or equal to) to search ranges of values. You can also use the field name without any extension to query for exact equality. Fields that support extensions will have an "Additional filter parameters" dropdown beneath them in the docs that detail the supported extensions for that parameter.
Response Types
By default, all endpoints return a JSON response. To request a CSV response include 'Accept': 'text/csv' as a request parameter.
Aggregates (Bars)
Get aggregate bars for an index over a given date range in custom time window sizes.
For example, if timespan = ‘minute’ and multiplier = ‘5’ then 5-minute bars will be returned.

The size of the time window.
The start of the aggregate time window. Either a date with the format YYYY-MM-DD or a millisecond timestamp.
The end of the aggregate time window. Either a date with the format YYYY-MM-DD or a millisecond timestamp.
Sort the results by timestamp.
asc will return results in ascending order (oldest at the top),
desc will return results in descending order (newest at the top).
Limits the number of base aggregates queried to create the aggregate results. Max 50000 and Default 5000. Read more about how limit is used to calculate aggregate results in our article on Aggregate Data API Improvements.
