v3.26 — API changes: quotes, calendar ids, symbols

GET /v1/quote returns symbol, bid, ask, spread, spread_pips and timestamp only. Every other response field is removed, and every other query parameter is ignored.

GET /v1/indicator no longer accepts a source parameter.

Economic calendar id and series_id values are now opaque 16-character keys. Each changes value once.

GET /v1/symbols/{symbol} no longer returns contract_size, min_volume, max_volume, volume_step, swap_long, swap_short, margin_currency or trading_hours.

GET /v1/symbols search matches canonical symbol names only.

Symbols are answered by their canonical name only, for example EURUSD. Any other name gets the answer an unknown symbol gets.

Screener results and Market Insights cards carry canonical symbol names.

server_time on GET /v1/indicator and /demo/indicator, and the timestamp of POST /v1/quotes, are ISO-8601 UTC, for example 2024-03-27T14:00:00+00:00, instead of dotted date strings.

The playground on each indicator API reference page shows the documented example response, labelled as illustrative values, instead of generated numbers.

The indicator API reference pages show the response with its success and data envelope, as the API returns it.

Each indicator API reference page shows the example value its learn page shows, with updated_at and server_time at the same instant.

POST /v1/quotes returns an empty data.timestamp, instead of the time of the response, when the time of the latest data update is not available.

The polling example on the real-time data page detects new quotes from each quote's own timestamp.

v3.25

New TickAtlas website

v3.25 · September 19, 2026
Improvement
  • Full public-site redesign: new look across every page, dark mode, faster load, and corrected product information throughout.
v3.24

Simpler, honest pricing

v3.24 · September 15, 2026
Improvement
  • Pay-as-you-go became the starting point: every new account begins with $2.50 of prepaid API credit, with no card and no trial. The monthly plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) remain for a flat monthly price with a daily request quota, and three capabilities still depend on plan: raw tick data is Pro and Enterprise only, while WebSocket streaming and released economic-calendar actuals start at Starter. (Corrected 2026-09-19: this entry originally said there were no tiers and that every plan feature was available to everyone. Neither was accurate.)
v3.23

Documentation accuracy pass

v3.23 · September 12, 2026
Docs

Unified error codes

v3.15 · July 18, 2026
ImprovementBreaking

Change taxonomy

A changelog should tell developers what kind of attention a release needs.

The labels are deliberately operational: they help readers scan for implementation work, security changes, documentation updates and changes that could affect client code.

Feature

New endpoints, billing capabilities, security controls, integrations or developer-facing product surface.

Ask: what can I build now that I could not build before?

Improvement

Changes to reliability, performance, developer experience, accessibility, observability or existing behavior.

Ask: does my current integration become easier or behave differently?

Security

Authentication, headers, rate limiting, password handling, payment verification and other hardening work.

Ask: do I need to update account or deployment practices?

Documentation

Reference expansions, troubleshooting, examples, API playgrounds and integration guidance.

Ask: is there now a clearer supported path for this workflow?
Release arc

From API foundation to a full developer platform.

The release history tells a broader product story. January established the core data platform. February expanded analysis and streaming. March hardened ingestion, automation and security. April added account and billing controls. May and June built out the developer experience and documentation surface.

This is useful context for developers because it shows which parts of the system are foundational and which were layered on later.

JAN
Core API foundationPostgreSQL, Redis, history, symbol resolution, spreads, 42 indicator series and per-plan usage controls.
FEB

MAR
