How to call multiple quotes from IEX Cloud API

I am trying to use IEX Cloud to get stock quotes for multiple stocks with one API call.

Here is my api call for Apple,Facebook, and Tesla. What am I doing wrong?
https://cloud.iexapis.com/stable/stock/market/batch?symbols=aapl,fb,tsla&types=quote?token=MY_TOKEN_HERE

The Error Message returned from the API is this:

“types” required with a valid value

    I think the main problem was question mark between ‘quote’ and token. It should be ‘&’ instead. I replicated your error with question mark, but with & it works just fine.

    Here is what works for me: https://cloud.iexapis.com/v1/stock/market/batch?&types=quote&symbols=aapl,fb,tsla&token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

    if you want to retrieve just the latest price, you can use following call:

    https://cloud.iexapis.com/v1/stock/market/batch?&types=price&symbols=aapl,fb,tsla&token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

    as of 2nd-July-2022,

    This is how I structured my URL for a batch request.

    const tickerArray = ["AAPL", "META", "GOOGL", "TSLA"];

`https://cloud.iexapis.com/v1/stock/market/batch?symbols=${tickerArray.toString().toLowerCase()}&types=quote&token=${process.env.IEXCLOUD_API_KEY}`
