413: Payload Too Large

A 413 PAYLOAD TOO LARGE means your request asked for more candle data than is allowed in a single call.

For candles, this is most commonly triggered on intraday resolutions when you request more than 1 year in one request.

Fast Fix​

For intraday candles, request less than 1 year per API call.

Why This Happens​

The candles endpoints enforce request-size constraints to keep responses bounded and reliable. If your intraday candle range is too large, the API returns 413.

Daily candles are allowed beyond 1 year.

What To Change​

  1. For intraday requests, reduce the date window to less than 1 year.
  2. If you need more history, split your query into multiple requests.

Example​

# Too large (intraday example)
GET https://api.marketdata.app/v1/stocks/candles/1/AAPL/?from=2022-01-01&to=2024-12-31

# Valid intraday: keep each request under 1 year
GET https://api.marketdata.app/v1/stocks/candles/1/AAPL/?from=2024-01-01&to=2024-12-31

# Daily example: multi-year range is allowed
GET https://api.marketdata.app/v1/stocks/candles/D/AAPL/?from=2015-01-01&to=2024-12-31

If You Still Get 413​

  1. Double-check from/to ranges after timezone normalization.
  2. Verify your client is not expanding ranges unexpectedly.
  3. Contact support with your full request URL and parameters.
