Definition

Our Market Metrics endpoints can 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 as to what they consider "a day". Some may say it's 8-8, some say midnight to midnight, there is no standard. So the volume data you find online will not give you an apples to apples comparison between the exchanges. However, we normalize timestamps to GMT and break it down with the raw hourly data ourselves, which then allows you to compare the volume data across exchanges using the same time duration. This is available at the exchange, asset or pair level. It is very difficult to do this yourself as you would need all the raw hourly data in order to get these accurate values.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pairs & assets do you provide volume level metrics for?

• We provide volume level metrics for all assets and all pairs that are on the exchanges we support. The list of exchanges we support can be found using our Exchanges endpoint or the list of pairs we support can be found using our Pairs endpoint.

Do you provide market cap data?

• Yes, our Rankings endpoints will provide the marketCap for top ranked assets only. If you want to calculate market cap yourself, we would recommend using the Supply endpoint and any of the Spot Price endpoints (TWAP, VWAP or Prices) to calculate for any other asset.
