  -H 'content-type: application/json' \

```

## Errors

| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid request parameters. Returned when required query parameters are missing, have invalid types, or violate constraints (e.g., providing both symbol and isin when they are mutually exclusive). |
| 401 | Missing or invalid API key. |
| 429 | Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the `Retry-After` header interval. |

- `403` from the gateway: the API key is invalid or switched off.
- `429` with message `Limit Exceeded`: the monthly quota of the key is used up. With `Too Many Requests`: the key is throttled, or this route is not in the key's plan. Wait for `Retry-After` when it is sent.
