Deprecation Notice
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our API and services, we will be deprecating this endpoint on June 28, 2024. This decision is in line with our commitment to providing high-quality, efficient, and secure API services to our users.
We encourage all users of this endpoint to transition to the Futures Order Book Event endpoint as soon as possible. This endpoint offers the same data, we have simply merged our Swaps data together with the Futures data. Therefore, "Swaps" data (aka Perpetual Futures) can now be found under the Futures section of the Amberdata API docs.
Time Range Limit
The maximum time range (difference between startDate and endDate) is 1 hour.
In order to get more than the maximum allowed, you can use the
startDate&endDateparameters to move the time frame window to get the next n days/hours/minutes of data.This endpoint is used to retrieve historical data only and is updated every hour. If your query does not return any data, try the hour before using the
startDate&endDateparameters.
Not specifying startDate and endDate
If the
startDateandendDatequery parameters are not provided, the API will return the data from the previous 10 minutes.
