This query supports the '*' notation for futures (i.e. RS*1, where RS is the root symbol for the commodity). Note that a SYMBOL field containing the active contract for which data is returned will be prepended to each record in the result set when using the '\*' notation. | | start | This parameter should be set to the desired start date/time for the query (the result set will include records back to, and including, this value). If not set, the value will default to the beginning of available data if a maximum number of records is specified; otherwise it will default to the beginning of the day specified in the end parameter, if specified, or to the beginning of the current day, if end is not specified. The value should conform to the format yyyymmdd\[hhmm\[ss]], where fields in brackets are optional. Any optional fields that are not explicitly set will default to 0 (i.e. 20090203 will default to 20090203000000 or February 3, 2009 at 00:00:00). | | end | This parameter should be set to the desired end date/time for the query (the result set will include records up to, but not including, this value). If not set, the value will default to the end of available data, if a maximum number of records is specified; otherwise, the value will default to the end of the day specified in the start parameter, if specified, or to the end of the current day, if start is not specified. The value should conform to the format yyyymmdd\[hhmm\[ss]], where fields in brackets are optional. Any optional fields that are not explicitly set will default to 0 (i.e. 20090203 will default to 20090203000000 or February 3, 2009 at 00:00:00). | | maxrecords | This parameter should be set to the maximum number of records desired. If not specified, the number of records returned will be determined by the date/time parameters specified as well as any defaults that apply to the query. | | interval | This parameter is the size of the interval to be used when aggregating records. If not specified, the default will be set to 1 and no aggregation will be performed. | | order | This parameter can be set to one of two values (asc and desc) in order to specify the chronological order of the result set returned. If this parameter is not specified, the order results is not guaranteed. | | splits | This parameter only applies to stocks and specifies whether the data returned should be adjusted for splits or not. Set to true to query for adjusted the data, or to false for non-adjusted data. If not specified, the default at this time is true, but there is no guarantee that this won’t change in the future. In order to guarantee the same adjustment settings in the future, this parameter should be specified. | | dividends | This parameter only applies to stocks and specifies whether the data returned should be adjusted for dividends or not. Set to true to query for adjusted the data, or to false for non-adjusted data. If not specified, the default at this time is false, but there is no guarantee that this won’t change in the future. In order to guarantee the same adjustment settings in the future, this parameter should be specified. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://developer.barchart.com/market-replay-docs/api-query-types/minute-queries/minute-query-parameters.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
