continuation_token	No	See Pagination
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.
slippage	No	Order size (in quote asset) for which to calculate the percentage of slippage. Default: 0. When null is returned, not enough volume is present on the order book to execute the order.
slippage_ref	No	Price point for which to calculate slippage from. Either from the mid price (mid_price) or from the best bid/ask (best). Default: mid_price.
