Definition

The Market Metrics endpoints retrieve the total volume traded by the exchanges in USD, the daily volume of assets on each exchange or the daily volume of pairs on each exchange.

Details

In crypto, every exchange has a different definition for one day - there is no standard. Volume data from online sources often will not give a true comparison between exchanges. Our endpoints normalize timestamps to GMT, allowing for comparison of volume data across exchanges. This is available at the exchange, asset, and pair level.

Availability

The metrics endpoints are available via REST API. The "latest" endpoints are updated over a rolling 24-hour period. The aggregations returned from these endpoints are done in real-time from the previous hour.

Example: If the current time of your request to the endpoint is 2:30 PM, we will use the historical hourly data available in the database up to the bottom of the hour, so it would be from 2:00 PM minus 24 hours. The timestamp returned represents the beginning of the daily bar, following the same approach as OHLCV.

The "historical" endpoints will provide each day's value from midnight to midnight UTC. The timestamp returned also represents the beginning of the daily bar, meaning 00:00:00 to 23:59:59.
