Changes to Batch Endpoint Data Retrieval Limits

2025-01-06

Details:

We’ve made updates to our platform to optimize performance and improve the reliability of data served from our systems. These changes introduce new restrictions on Market Data Batch endpoint requests to ensure alignment with our data storage infrastructure and retrieval capabilities.

We initially updated our API documentation and informed all customers of the coming changes back in October 2024. Each Batch endpoint had the following message in the API documentation:

Key Changes

• 62-Day Data Limit for startDate parameter:
  • Batch requests can no longer retrieve data older than 62 days. Data requests beyond this limit will result in the following error: "Error: Data retrieval is limited to the past 62 days. Please use the Historical endpoint for older data."
• Default Behavior Update:
  • Previous Behavior: Requests without startDate or endDate returned the previous 12 months of daily data.
  • New Behavior: Requests without these parameters will now return only the previous 62 days of daily data.
• Endpoints Affected:
  • The following endpoints are impacted by these updates:
    • Spot OHLCV: https://api.amberdata.com/market/spot/ohlcv/exchange/{exchange}/historical
