Get RealTime stock price from AlphaVantage

I am working on a trading app project, and i am using Alpha Vantage API to get stock prices.

I tried the TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY function to get real time stock prices in a 5 minute interval, but i get only the data from the previous market day instead of the current day.

For example if launch the API today (2020-01-03 at 12:30) the last refresh is at "2020-01-02 12:50:00":

        "4. close": "28.6631",
        "5. volume": "105"
    },

I do not see what i am missing.

Really glad if anyone could help.

Thanks!

  • DAX is an index. Alpha Vantage does not currently support indexes.

    They support stock, FX, crypto, technical indicators, and sector performance. If they have some, they are considered bonus.
