Price Slippage

You can also get Price Slippage 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 Price Slippage metric.

Price Slippage calculates the potential slippage for a market buy order if it were placed at the time the Order Book Snapshot was taken.
