Really want to see a guide that covers how best to handle setting up a continuous price history on a security by security basis vs by symbol. i.e. Running a backtest on META requires knowing that there was a symbol change from FB. We can of course manually handle this for one off scenarios, but that's not very scalable.

Would absolutely love a securities reference endpoint with a single unique security id, and then a price history endpoint where we can query by that security id. Lastly, within the price history data, include the symbol with each bar/tick as a built in point-in-time reference for symbols.

A guide showing how to accomplish this with the currently Polygon API endpoints would be killer as well.

Thanks so much!

Hello, I want to replace my trade ideas alert system and multi strategy window with yours, because I want to build a bot. Can you please do a video on how to build an alert system like trade ideas’ using polygon? Thank you.

How come using the vX demo API I could not access the fundamentals ?

This is terrible. You guys need to do your demos in Colab and then post the notebook in the description. Your showing off your terminal skills. Really disappointed b/c I wasted alot of time trying to follow your instructions on the terminal.
