  title: Barchart OnDemand Commodities & Agriculture Corporate Actions & Earnings API
  description: 'The Barchart OnDemand API is a commercially licensed market-data and commodity-data service hosted at https://ondemand.websol.barchart.com. It exposes a broad catalog of REST endpoints for quotes, historical time series, reference/instrument metadata, futures and options, fundamentals, corporate actions, cryptocurrencies, physical-commodity and agricultural data, technicals, news, and weather. Every call is authenticated with an `apikey` query parameter issued by Barchart, and each endpoint responds in JSON, XML, or CSV selected by the path suffix (for example `/getQuote.json`, `/getQuote.xml`, `/getQuote.csv`); GET, POST, and SOAP transports are supported.

    ACCESS NOTE - Barchart OnDemand is subscription and enterprise gated. The endpoint names, HTTP method, `apikey` auth, format suffixes, and the documented request parameters below are taken from Barchart''s public OnDemand documentation and are accurate. Because request quotas, the exact field catalogs, and full response payloads are entitlement-specific and not publicly published in machine-readable form, the response schemas in this document are HONESTLY MODELED (endpointsModeled) rather than captured from live authenticated responses. Field sets returned depend on your Barchart data license.'

We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
