Data availability
Adjusted data
The list of back-adjusted symbols is available for download after 1AM ET. Use the list to see if there are any files that need to be downloaded entirely. The idea is to download the entire file from our server after every split or a dividend. We are performing all the adjustments on our part. You will be able to get the back-adjusted data after 4:45AM ET.
You can get a list of symbols/files that have been back-adjusted the previous day by calling the following URL every day after 1AM ET:
http://api.kibot.com/?action=adjustments&symbol=allsymbols&period=1
Regular data
All other data for the previous trading session is available after 2:15AM ET every day. You will need to download only the missing dates. Determine the last date in your local file and then request the missing data starting from that date.
