Market depth (aggregation)
What is this endpoint for?
This endpoint returns the average market depth for the requested period.
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.
Endpoint
https://us.market-api.kaiko.io/v2/data/order_book_snapshots.v1/exchanges/{exchange}/{instrument_class}/{instrument}/ob_aggregations/depthPath Parameters
region
Yes
Choose between eu and us.
Query Parameters
end_time
No
Ending time in ISO 8601 (exclusive). Automatically included in continuation tokens.
interval
No
The interval parameter is suffixed with s, m, h or d to specify seconds, minutes, hours or days, respectively.
Any arbitrary value between one second and one day can be used, as long as it sums up to a maximum of 1 day. The suffixes are s (second), m (minute), h (hour) and d (day).
Default 1h.
page_size
No
Number of snapshots to return data for. (default: 10, max: 100). See Pagination Automatically included in continuation tokens.
sort
No
Return the data in ascending asc or descending desc order. Default desc
Automatically included in continuation tokens.
start_time
No
Starting time in ISO 8601 (inclusive). Automatically included in continuation tokens.
Fields
poll_timestamp
The timestamp at which the interval begins
bid_volume_x
The average volume of bids placed within 0 and x% of the best bid over a specified interval.
ask_volume_x
The average volume of asks placed within 0 and x% of the best ask over a specified interval.
