Hopefully they will update this.
As of right now I have only found eTrade provides historical data, and you have to apply for that data.

#33Most financial market data comes with strict licensing models. To get data from NYSE, NADAQ, CME or most other exchanges you must sign the agreements. Selling this data to vendors, news networks or end consumers is a large portion of the exchange's revenue. The more granular or quickly you want the data, the more it will cost. In addition to paying for the initial data, you are not allowed to redistribute the data, i…

Thanks for checking out the API and for your compliment on our docs. Our historical data is currently limited to IEX, but we have a major update coming out soon. We plan to include years of EOD data, fundamentals, financials, earnings, technical indicators, and company info. All for free.
