BitMEX’s volume field represents the number of contracts traded, not the volume in the base asset.To obtain the correct volume, users must adjust for contract size using the underlyingToPositionMultiplier from our Reference endpoint.For details on this calculation and how to retrieve the correct values, see our Changelog Update.
The maximum time range (difference between startDate and endDate) is 731 days (2 years).
If the startDate and endDate query parameters are not provided, the API will return the data from the previous 12 months of daily data.
