Is the price you're looking at fresh? How far back does the history go? — A-shares, HK stocks, gold, funds, spelled out

The three categories tied to freshness and history depth, up front

Coverage, frequency, freshness — no adjectives, just the table

The tables below list the actual coverage, refresh frequency, and start date for 29+ of Privora's published assets (origin team), grouped into six categories. Ticker counts and row counts that change over time are marked with a "+" to indicate a floor, not a claim of exact precision; start dates and other facts that don't drift are quoted verbatim. stock_day, stock_day_hk, and stock_day_us are all one-row-per-stock-per-day snapshot tables where each row is overwritten in place, but they don't all refresh the same way intraday: stock_day (A-share) refreshes roughly every minute during the trading session, while stock_day_hk and stock_day_us only write that day's row after their own market closes, showing the prior trading day's close until then — this asset family is the one most often misunderstood, explained separately below.

Table 1: Live-Update Data Details

The "Frequency" column tells you how often this kind of quote data refreshes; the "Start Date" column tells you how far back it goes. Ticker counts and row counts carry a "+" to indicate a measured floor that shifts normally with each daily data load — that isn't a sign of a data error.

Two spec boundaries worth confirming before you rely on this data

Most competitors are vague about what "minute-level" or "real-time" actually means. Here are the two distinctions most worth checking before you rely on this data.

Why exchange ETF traders should watch IOPV and premium/discount

IOPV (indicative optimized portfolio value) and the premium/discount rate are the two numbers exchange-traded ETF traders care about most — and the two most often missing from free data sources. They tell you whether the current trade price is running above or below the ETF's actual underlying NAV.

Table 2: Historical Data Start Dates

The table below lists content, coverage, and refresh frequency for each historical asset — and, most importantly, the data start date. We list it asset by asset instead of a blanket "full history" claim.

Daily stock bars and minute-level candlesticks are published as separate per-market assets in the marketplace: stock_day (A-share: SH/SZ/BJ), stock_day_hk (Hong Kong), stock_day_us (US); stock_kline (A-share: SH/SZ/BJ), stock_kline_hk (Hong Kong). stock_minutes is not split by market — it's a single asset covering SH, SZ, and HK. Fund dividends (fund_dividend) and fund static attributes (fund_codes) have moved to their own groups below. Check the exact asset name and list you actually subscribe to in the marketplace.

Table 3: Corporate Actions / Dividend Details

Stock dividends (stock_dividend) and fund dividends (fund_dividend) are both event-driven — new records only appear when a dividend or bonus-share event occurs, not on a fixed schedule. stock_dividend's fields are much richer than fund_dividend's.

The maximum ex-dividend date for stock_dividend and fund_dividend may include future dates — these are announced-but-not-yet-executed dividend plans, which is normal forward-looking data, not dirty data.
