REQUIRED

The Theta Terminal must be running to access data.

Behavior

Retrieves hisrorical indices price reports. Exchanges typically generate a price report every second for popular indices like SPX.
The highest granularity data available is returned if the ivl parameter isn't specified. When the ivl parameter is specified,
the returned data represents the price at the exact time of each timestamp. If the timestamp in the response is 10:30:00, the price field
represents the price at that exact time of the day. A price update from the exchange is omitted if the price remained the same from the previous update.
