1 to 1 splits in v3 split API #189

Closed bluelu closed 2 years ago

bluelu commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Can I safely ignore 1 -> 1 splits? They were not present in the v2 API.

Example: Query: /v3/reference/splits?ticker=AFL Contains entry: {"execution_date":"2018-03-16","split_from":1,"split_to":1,"ticker":"AFL"}

Thanks Thibaut

We're currently looking into this now. Apologies for the confusion.

It turns out, this is a special case. In this instance, the split is a stock dividend payout. So for every one share owned, the owner gets an additional share. And the share price doesn't change.

It is safe to ignore these on your end, while we figure out a better way to handle this situation. Apologies for the confusion.
