Public doesn't provide a live data feed, but it serves historical data for the US Equities, Equity Options, Index Options, and Crypto it supports. To use Public as the historical data provider of local backtests, optimizations, and research, pass --data-provider-historical Public to the lean backtest, lean optimize, or lean research commands, or download data with lean data download.

The Public API serves trade data with the following limits:

• Minute resolution covers only the current trading day.
• Hour resolution covers up to one month back.
• Daily resolution covers about 18 years back for Equities and about 12 years back for Crypto.

The Public data provider serves raw data. To get adjusted Equity data in local deployments, download the US Equity Security Master.
