Current-data boundaries are part of the contract

A current-data API must state which markets, fields, and protocols are qualified instead of implying universal coverage.

Engineering & market structure

A customer should use a runtime schema and capability response to decide whether a current field or market is enabled. A static marketing claim cannot replace that runtime boundary.

What the public contract covers

RobinhoodRPC documents current instruments, prices, market snapshots, corporate actions, multiplier state, and supported-on-chain market streams. Current account balance reads are native JSON-RPC only at launch.

This does not establish an every-venue feed, a complete order book, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, gRPC-Web, streaming, or portfolio balance APIs, self-service historical access, replay, exact trader profit, or complete cost basis.

This is a product-scope note, not a measured market study.
