get_latest_price does not return overnight prices #425

Closed bartekpuzon closed 1 year ago

bartekpuzon commented 1 year ago

This will not return current price outside of the extended hours:

rs.stocks.get_latest_price('XXXX', includeExtendedHours=True)

I stepped through the program and it looks like the URL the function depends on: https://api.robinhood.com/quotes/, doesn't return the live 24/7 price in any of its fields.

How to get the current overnight stock price?

bartekpuzon commented 1 year ago

This does return more data (note id is stock id, not symbol)

 marketdata_quotes_url(id) + "?bounds=24_5"

I don't know yet if last_non_reg_trade_price or last_extended_hours_trade_price (from the result) should be used, but as of now (11pm on a Sunday) these two are always the same. I plan to get back to using get_latest_price outside of the night hours.
