Why can’t I request multiple symbols in the new V2 HistoricalRequest? In the ‘old’ V1 BarSetRequest I could send an array of symbol names and partition request of all symbols within the 200 request per minute limit. (~96 calls). We are evolving backwards if this is to force upgrade to Pro. ---

Does someone is going to address this issue? The time to pull bars for a group of symbols is now substantially longer… Thanks ---

Hey @dynamic3, We are aware of the interest in requesting multiple symbols on v2 and it is on the roadmap, however, we cannot give an exact timeline currently. Abel ---

Hey @Abel_Alpaca Thanks for the response. I tried it but it doesn’t work. I tried both ```auto from pprint import pprint import requests headers = {} headers['APCA-API-KEY-ID'] = os.environ.get('APCA_API_KEY_ID') headers['APCA-API-SECRET-KEY'] = os.environ.get('APCA_API_SECRET_KEY') market_data_base_url = "https://data.alpaca.markets" v1_path = "/v1/bars/minute?symbol=AAPL,AMZN,CMCSA" full_url_v1 = market_data_base_url + v1_path res = requests.get(full_url_v1, headers=headers) pprint(res.json()) v2_path = "/v2/stocks/bars?limit=2&timeframe=1Min&symbols=AAPL,AMZN,WMT" full_url_v2 = market_data_base_url + v2_path res = requests.get(full_url_v2, headers=headers) pprint(res.json()) ``` full\_url\_v1 returned > {‘code’: 42210000, ‘message’: ‘at least one symbol is required’} full\_url\_v2 returned > {‘bars’: {‘AAPL’: [{‘c’: 164.98, > ‘h’: 164.98, > ‘l’: 164.74, > ‘n’: 37, > ‘o’: 164.74, > ‘t’: ‘2022-03-01T09:00:00Z’, > ‘v’: 534, > ‘vw’: 164.928764}, > {‘c’: 164.9, > ‘h’: 165.01, > ‘l’: 164.9, > ‘n’: 25, > ‘o’: 165.01, > ‘t’: ‘2022-03-01T09:01:00Z’, > ‘v’: 1326, > ‘vw’: 164.927247}]}, > ‘next\_page\_token’: ‘QUFQTHxNfDIwMjItMDMtMDFUMDk6MDE6MDAuMDAwMDAwMDAwWg==’} ---
