# Status

Retrieve whether a country's stock market is open or closed on a given day, or over a range of days — the market calendar.

## Making Requests

Use `GetStatusAsync` on the `Markets` resource. With no parameters it returns today's status for the US market.

```csharp
Task<MarketStatusResponse> GetStatusAsync(
    string? country = null,
    DateOnly? date = null, DateOnly? from = null, DateOnly? to = null, int? countback = null,
    MarketDataRequestOptions? options = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
Task<MarketStatusResponse> GetStatusAsync(MarketStatusRequest request, ...)
```

### MarketStatusRequest

```csharp
new MarketStatusRequest
{
    Country = string,       // ISO 3166 two-letter code; default US
    Date = DateOnly,        // one day
    From = DateOnly,        // range start
    To = DateOnly,          // range end
    Countback = int         // N most recent days
}
```

#### Returns

`MarketStatusResponse` wrapping `IReadOnlyList<MarketStatus>` — one row per day:

```csharp
public record MarketStatus(
    DateTimeOffset? Date,
    string? Status);        // "open" or "closed"
```

## Examples

```csharp
using MarketDataApp;

using var client = await MarketDataClient.CreateAsync();

// Is the US market open today?
var today = (await client.Markets.GetStatusAsync("US")).Values[0];
Console.WriteLine($"US market is {today.Status} on {today.Date:yyyy-MM-dd}");

// The last five trading-calendar days.
var recent = await client.Markets.GetStatusAsync("US", countback: 5);
foreach (var day in recent.Values)
{
    Console.WriteLine(day);   // 2026-08-14 open
}
```

For CSV output, call `client.Markets.GetStatusCsvAsync(...)` and read `.Csv`. See [Settings](https://www.marketdata.app/docs/sdk/csharp/settings#csv-output).
