About Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA)
BABA is the ticker for Alibaba Group, traded as a US-listed American Depositary Receipt and quoted in US dollars. An ADR is a US-tradable certificate that represents shares in a company based outside the United States. This page covers data, not investment advice.
The live quote returns price, bid, ask, a basis-point spread, the day's volume and change, a session field marking regular versus pre and after-hours prints, and a timestamp. Access it as a REST snapshot or subscribe over WebSocket with the us product, using an X-API-Key header.
Historical bars run over REST from one-second up to daily resolution, each carrying open, high, low, close, volume, and a VWAP. Intraday history spans several years for actively traded ADRs and daily history extends as far as the listing permits. The reachable window depends on your plan tier, detailed on the pricing page.
The update rate scales with tier and the median publish age stays under 100 milliseconds, a data-freshness measure rather than an execution time, with source, ingest, and publish timestamps and a quality flag on every tick. The data methodology page explains how the rate scales. For the same ADR you can also retrieve reference data such as ISIN, CUSIP, and FIGI, corporate actions, and fundamentals including regulatory filings.
