FAQ

What is the data latency? The kwayisi.org API is updated during market hours. Exact latency is not specified by the provider. Treat data as delayed (not real-time).

How far back does historical data go? Only the last ~10 trading days per ticker are available. There is no historical archive and no date selector. This limitation cannot be worked around — it is a constraint of the data source.

Are ISINs available? ISINs are not published by the GSE API. The isin field will always be null.

What currency are prices in? All prices are in GHS (Ghana Cedi).

Is GSE-FSI available? Only GSE-CI is published in a machine-readable format. GSE-FSI is mentioned on the page but no numerical value is exposed.

Does the actor support real-time data? No. The exchange data is delayed. Real-time feeds are not available from any free public source.
