# Quote schema (/docs/schema/quote)

The unified SocialCrawl financial quote schema. Every field, its type, per-platform availability, and a machine-readable JSON Schema, generated from the canonical Zod source.

Every SocialCrawl endpoint that returns a financial quote gives you this exact shape, whatever the source platform. Write your parser once and the same code reads quote data from every platform below. That is the unified schema: one contract instead of a dozen raw upstream formats.

## Platform availability

1 platform returns the `Quote` shape. `id`, `type` are never null on any platform. The fields below vary: **yes** means the platform populates it (the value may still be null); a blank means the platform never provides it, so it is always null.

| Platform | `ticker` | `exchange` | `name` | `url` | `currency` | `pair.base_symbol` | `pair.quote_symbol` | `pair.base_display_name` | `pair.quote_display_name` | `price.current` | `price.previous_close` | `price.delta` |
| -------- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Machine-readable schema

Validate responses programmatically against the JSON Schema (2020-12):

[`/schemas/quote.json`](/schemas/quote.json)

Point a validator (Ajv, `jsonschema`, or your framework's) at that URL, or hand it to an agent so it can check the shape without a live call.

## Returned by

Endpoints with the `Quote` / `QuoteList` archetype return this shape:

[Finance](/platforms/finance)

See how the same fields map to each platform's raw upstream names in the [cross-platform field equivalence table](/docs/schema/field-equivalence.md).
