  title: Barchart OnDemand 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.
