Backed by the same intraday rollup tables that power the chart modal in the Skylit UI. **Field naming.** This endpoint returns `snake_case` keys (passed through from the internal intraday store). All other `/v1/underlying/*` endpoints use `camelCase`. A future revision will reconcile this; encode against `UnderlyingChartBar` for now. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /flowseeker-openapi.yaml get /v1/underlying/{ticker}/chart openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Flowseeker — Skylit Public API version: 1.0.0 summary: Real-time and historical options-flow analytics as a public HTTP API. description: > Flowseeker exposes Skylit's real-time options-flow scoring stack — Flow Score, FlowBonus, VWF/SDF/FIR aggregates, sector rotation, and market breadth — as a versioned public HTTP API. Data is sourced from Databento OPRA + ThetaData with sub-second freshness during market hours. **Authentication.** Send your Skylit API key as a bearer token: Authorization: Bearer fs_live_ (`X-API-Key: fs_live_` is also accepted.) Your rate limit and monthly quota are determined by your account plan. **Rate limits & quotas.** Per-minute limits are enforced by the Skylit gateway and surfaced on every response via `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset`. `429` includes `Retry-After`; quota exhaustion returns `403` with `code: QUOTA_EXCEEDED`. **Credits & billing.** Every `/v1/*` data request debits a fixed number of **credits** from your account's shared Skylit balance (the same balance used across all Skylit public APIs). Each chargeable response carries `X-Credits-Remaining: `. The credit is charged before the request is served, so a `5xx` still bills. Cost is priced by server-side work and data volume returned: | Tier | Credits | Routes | |------|--------:|--------| | Light | 1 | single-key reads, ratios, scores, discovery/search lists, expirations, rvol, per-contract bull/bear, the flow feed | | Medium | 3 | charts, full chains, by-strike matrix, momentum/baseline/strikes, tide, aggregate, sweeps, market, sector, market-breadth, chain bull/bear, unusual-volume/oi screeners | | Heavy | 5 | trade feeds (`/trades`), history (`/history`, `historical-compare`), bulk endpoints | `/v1/openapi.json` is free. When you run out of credits the API returns `402` `insufficient_credits`; a suspended account returns `403` `account_suspended`; a transient billing-store error returns `503` `credit_check_failed` (safe to retry). These billing codes are lowercase (`insufficient_credits`, `account_suspended`, `credit_check_failed`) — the platform-wide convention for credit errors. **Response envelope.** All success responses share one shape: { "data": , "meta": { "timestamp": "...", "requestId": "..." } } All errors share one shape: { "error": { "code": "NOT_FOUND", "message": "..." } } Field names are camelCase throughout. Codes are stable, machine-readable `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` strings — the message text may evolve. **Freshness.** Endpoints with a `timeframe` parameter (e.g. `/v1/flow/{ticker}`) return data through the last completed bucket. Intra-bucket fills land on the next request. The cumulative `/v1/flow/market-breadth` and aggregate scoring endpoints update at most once per second. servers: - url: https://flow-api.skylit.ai description: Production - url: https://d2kehby0dtx1a6.cloudfront.net description: Staging (subject to wipes; do not use for billing-relevant work) security: - bearerApiKey: [] tags: - name: Flow description: Per-ticker flow feed, aggregate scoring, baselines, and momentum. - name: Sweeps description: Aggregated multi-exchange sweeps and sweep-only feeds. - name: Sector description: Sector- and industry-level flow rollups. - name: Market description: >- Market-wide overview, breadth, advance/decline, sector rotation, and net-premium tide. - name: Analytics description: > Standalone analytics endpoints — Vol/OI accumulation, moneyness segmentation, and timeframe-aggregated sentiment scores. - name: Ratios description: | Bid/ask/mid distribution analyses at chain and contract granularity, plus call/put-aware bull/bear pressure breakdowns. - name: Scoring description: Per-trade scoring, sentiment, and intent classification. - name: Underlying description: | Ticker-level discovery and analytics — top tickers by flow, bulk stats, intraday chart bars, raw enriched trades, strike / expiration distributions, option chain, and historical rollups. - name: Contract description: | Per-contract discovery and analytics — top contracts by flow, unusual volume / OI scans, contract stats, intraday chart bars, raw enriched trades, and historical rollups. - name: Meta description: API metadata (this OpenAPI document, etc.). paths: /v1/underlying/{ticker}/chart: get: tags: - Underlying summary: Intraday chart bars for a ticker description: | Returns time-bucketed bars aggregating options activity for the underlying (call/put volume + premium, P/C ratio, bid/ask execution split) plus the underlying stock price at each boundary.
