The table is queried via the following endpoint:

https://api.sharadar.com/v1.0/data/sp500?api_key=test-api-key&ticker=AAPL

The queries are authenticated and filtered using query parameters. A query parameter specifies a particular option or filter for the data to be returned. Examples of query parameter include the data format to be returned (format), the table columns to return (fields) or a filter to be applied (tablename). These are appended to the endpoint above, following a ?. The most important of these is your API key (api_key) which is used to authenticate you. Without a valid API key, results will not be returned.

The sp500 table supports the following query parameters:
