GET /api/v1/corporate-actions

Corporate actions (splits, cash dividends).

  • Scope market:read
  • operationId marketCorporateActions

The token needs the scope market:read, and the person or service account behind it needs the matching privileges and account permissions, exactly as on the screens. See Scopes.

Paginated. Cursor pagination: limit (1 to 200, default 50); pass next_cursor as cursor until has_more is false. fields= returns only the named fields.
