Stock Market Open Times

Overview

Stock Market Open Times evaluates the current moment in the exchange's own timezone against its regular session hours and a rule-based holiday calendar, so weekends, holidays and early-close half-days resolve for any year. On paid plans, schedule=true walks forward to the next trading session to report when the market next opens and closes, and how many minutes remain until the next change.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/stockmarketopentimes?exchange=NYSE&schedule=true", nil)
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.

Use cases

Order Execution Routing

Brokerage systems verify whether a destination market is currently open before queuing or routing limit orders for immediate execution.

Portfolio Dashboard Badges

Financial charting widgets display green or red market status indicators next to asset prices based on the exchange open flag.

Pre-Market Notification Triggers

To alert day traders about upcoming sessions, mobile push services check scheduled opening times and send reminders fifteen minutes prior.

Cross-Border Arbitrage Bots

Algorithmic trading scripts compare overlapping operational hours across international venues like the LSE and NYSE to coordinate hedged positions.
