Market Depth

You can also get Market Depth from the Full Snapshot endpoint.

What is this endpoint for?

This endpoint uses our Bids and Asks as source data and enhances its raw data with the Market Depth metric.

Market Depth provides insight into the "depth" of an exchange's order book by aggregating the volume of bids and asks within 0-10% of the best bid or ask, respectively. A higher volume of bids and asks at each level implies more liquidity.

We are unable to collect the full 10% snapshot from all exchanges we cover. Thus, for some exchanges, 'Market Depth' does not accurately portray the exchange's order book volume.
