How to get VIX? #327

Closed windowshopr closed 3 years ago

windowshopr commented 3 years ago

Wondering if Alpha Vantage has extended intraday data for the VIX, and if so, what do I use as a symbol string to download it?

I've tried "VIX", "^VIX" and "%5EVIX" as per this answer.

@windowshopr, could you please relay ticker-specific questions to support@alphavantage.co?

I'll send them an email sure, thanks! I put it here in the hopes that someone else who uses this tool might have some direction for me. I'll post the response here from AV when I get it.

VXX, that's the ETF closest to the VIX. Thanks!
