What currency does the API report market cap data in?

I am using get_data to extract closing prices and market cap data for a list of companies. Does this give me market cap reported in dollars or in domestic currency of the country of exchange?

Hi @sanhitha.jugulum

By default, it uses domestic currency from the instrument.

But you can also pass in currency parameter to do the conversion.
