Index Values
Learn how to get index data for a single day by a specific location.
Overview
The Indices API allows us to retrieve index values for a particular location. It provides detailed information, including the name of the index, its time, its value, and its category.
Endpoints for getting index values
In this lesson, we learn how to retrieve the index data of a particular location for a single day and for a period of 5 days. These endpoints provide the index data for all indices for the specified location.
Note: The availability of index values varies by location.
