curl -X GET 'https://mystocks.africa/api/sandbox/v1/partner/assets' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MYSTOCKS_SANDBOX_API_KEY"

Use /stocks/{symbol}/candles as the canonical stock-chart endpoint. It provides explicit dates, sparse intraday buckets, daily/weekly/monthly aggregation, instrument names, and OHLCV-quality metadata. All listed equities have EOD closes, so a line chart is the universal baseline; render candlesticks only when meta.recommendedChartType is candlestick. A line recommendation covers EOD-only, incomplete, highly flat, or sparse-intraday series. /stocks/{symbol}/chart and /history are deprecated compatibility routes scheduled for removal on 2026-10-01. Use /market/ohlcv when an analytics pipeline supplies symbol and exchange separately.

Chart freshness

African equity data is supplied by the exchanges on a 15-minute-delayed basis. The API targets a 15-minute refresh cadence, but it is not a real-time or tick-by-tick chart feed. Show meta.asOf (or the latest candle timestamp) in the chart UI. This delay is unrelated to licensing: MyStocks holds full data rights for every supported exchange.

Rendering checklist

Label the exchange and native currency.
Show the data timestamp and freshness.
Do not mix local-currency and USD series on the same axis.
Handle markets with sparse history or closed sessions.
Treat volume 0 as unavailable unless meta.volumeAvailable is true.
Label current African equity data “15-minute delayed”; do not label it live or real-time.
Show meta.asOf or the latest candle timestamp, because the HTTP response time is not market time.
Show that candles are unadjusted; do not label them split-adjusted.
Include the instrument symbol and exchange in exports.
