Responses

  • 200

    Top-N strike rollup.

  • 400

    Request validation failed.

  • 401

    Missing or invalid API key.

  • 402

    The account's shared Skylit credit balance is lower than this route's cost. Top up to continue. Carries X-Credits-Remaining: 0.

  • 403

    Unknown, revoked or expired API key (the gateway's forbidden), the account's API access is suspended (account_suspended) or blocked (account_blocked). Not retryable.

  • 404

    Unknown ticker or contract (SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND), or no data for the requested window. Not charged.

  • 429

    Either the key exceeded its requests-per-minute limit (X-RateLimit-Limit; no Retry-After, wait until X-RateLimit-Reset), or the account is over one of the API's own limits, such as the query budget (queries running at once, fresh queries per second): TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_QUERIES or RATE_LIMITED with Retry-After. Not charged; retry after the wait.

  • 500

    Unexpected server error (INTERNAL_ERROR, DATABASE_ERROR). Not charged; safe to retry with exponential backoff.

  • 503

    Underlying data source temporarily unavailable, the credit balance could not be verified (credit_check_failed), or the API is paused for maintenance (api_paused, with a Retry-After header and a retry_after field in seconds). Not charged; safe to retry.

  • 504

    The request did not complete within 25 seconds. Not charged; narrow the window or retry.

    • nextEndTimestringdate-time

      /v1/flow/{ticker} only: the last row's exact time (RFC 3339 with nanoseconds), for end_time paging. Inclusive, so rows at that instant can repeat; nextCursor never repeats or skips.
