Tick-Level Trades

What is this endpoint for?

Tick-level data is the most granular level of trading data, and contains every single trade that occurs or centralized and decentralized exchanges. The data is normalized and timestamped and contains information such as the price and volume of each trade. For DEX’s specifically, we also provide additional information on the user address, the blockchain, the pool address and transaction hash related to the trade.
