# Historical Data

The availability of historical data on our site varies based on the specific symbol, the data bar period, and your membership level.

### By Data Bar Period <a href="#by_data_bar_period" id="by_data_bar_period"></a>

Our database has:

* 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 15-, 39-, 65-, 78-, 130-, and 195-minute bars going back 20 days.
* 10- and 30-minute bars going back 40 days.
* 60-minute bars going back to 2004.
* Daily, weekly and monthly bars going back to 1990 for most stocks, indexes and mutual funds (assuming they have been around that long).
* Daily, weekly and monthly bars going back as far as 1900 for some indexes.

### By Service Level <a href="#by_service_level" id="by_service_level"></a>

Your membership service level will determine how much historical data you can use in your charts.

* Non-members can only create charts of 5 years or less in length.
* Basic and Extra members can create charts that use data from as far back as 1980.
* PRO members can use all of our historical data in their charts with some data going back to the 1940s or earlier.  \

  To see exactly how far back we have data for a particular symbol, click the [Symbol Catalog](https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/catalog/) link at the bottom of any of our pages and search for the ticker symbol you are interested in. The starting date for its data is listed on the right side of the search results.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.stockcharts.com/data-and-ticker-symbols/data-availability/historical-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
