Trading Hours
Overview
There are three API endpoints that provide information on market trading hours. The endpoints provide the same information in different formats. Each endpoint is designed for a different use-case.
The APIs are:
The sections below will explain the intended use-case for each API.
Notice
Unlike our other API endpoints, the trading hours endpoints do not support bulk requests with multiple FinIDs or markets. This is due to the nested structure of the API results.
Single-Day Trading Hours API
The Single-Day Trading Hours API endpoint allows you to see the full trading schedule for a market on a specific date. The API returns detailed information containing the start and end times for all trading phases throughout the day.
Some markets have overnight trading. This endpoint will return all trading phases that overlap the specified date even if the trading phase starts on the previous day or ends on the following day. When working with markets that have overnight trading schedules we recommend you use the Multi-Day Trading Hours API.
You can specify a particular date by passing the date query string parameter. The date format must be yyyy-mm-dd. If the date parameter is omitted, the current date is used.
The date will always be converted into the timezone of the specified market.

Multiple-Day Trading Hours API
The Multiple-Day Trading Hours API is intended for use with markets that have overnight trading phases. This endpoint will return all trading phases between the specified start and end dates.
Only certain derivative markets have overnight trading phases. Equity markets do not have overnight trading.
Single-Day Trading Hours API returns all trading phases on a particular date, including phases that start the previous day or end the following day. If there is an overnight phase, that phase will be included in the response for both days. This duplication can be difficult to work with. The Multiple-Day Trading Hours API avoids this problem.

Simplified Trading Hours API
Sometimes, you don't need information on every trading phase.
If you just want to know the regular trading hours, pre-trading hours, and post-trading hours, you can use the Simplified Trading Hours API Endpoint.
Overnight Trading Sessions
Some markets have overnight trading sessions. To represent this in the API, we use what we call "24hr+ time". In some cases, the end time may exceed 24:00. This indicates that the market closes the following day.
For example, if the start time is 16:00 and the end time is 32:00, the market opens at 4:00 pm and closes the next day at 8:00 am.
Schema
| Field | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| day | String | Day of the week in string format. |
| open | Boolean | Describes if the market is open in true/false. |
| time_start | Time | Describes the time the market trading session opens. |
| time_end | Time | Describes the time the market trading session ends. |
| lunch | Boolean | Describes if the market has observed lunch hours in true/false. |
| lunch_start | Time | If observed lunch hours, this describes when lunch hours start. |
| lunch_end | Time | If observing lunch hours, this describes when lunch hours end. |
| pre_hours_start | Time | If pre-hours, describes what time they start. |
| pre_hours_end | Time | If pre-hours, describes what time they end. |
| post_hours_start | Time | If post-hours, describes what time they start. |
| post_hours_end | Time | If post-hours, describes what time they end. |
Query String Parameters
Supported query string parameters are listed in the table below:
| Parameter | Supported Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fin_id | Valid FinID | N/A | Specify which market to show data for. |
If you use a query string parameter that isn't supported, the API will ignore the invalid query string parameters and execute the ones it recognizes.
