Bulk Candles

Get bulk candle data for stocks. This endpoint returns bulk daily candle data for multiple stocks. Unlike the standard candles endpoint, this endpoint returns a single daily for each symbol provided. The typical use-case for this endpoint is to get a complete market snapshot during trading hours, though it can also be used for bulk snapshots of historical daily candles.
