Benchmark Reference Rates

What is this endpoint for?

Our ready-to-go BMR-compliant rates for specific assets in the crypto market. Reference rates average the prices over a period of time to determine an average value and daily “close” prices (as crypto is 24/7, "close" prices are always synthetic). They can be used for several use cases from settlement of derivatives contracts to asset pricing and valuation. More information on the specific rates can be found here.

Parameters

Parameter Description Examples

Parameter	Description	Examples
`index_code`	The Kaiko Benchmark Reference Rate ticker. You can find a full list of our tickers here.	`KK_RR_BTCUS`

index_code

The Kaiko Benchmark Reference Rate ticker. You can find a full list of our tickers here.

KK_RR_BTCUS

Requesting multiple tickers at the same time To configure multiple tickers in the same stream, provide the indexCode as a comma separated list eg KK_PR_BTCUSD,KK_AAVE_USDAlternatively, use a wildcard by entering a * and you'll receive all tickers you have as part of you Kaiko subscription.

Fields

Field Description

Field	Description
`indexCode`	The ticker identifying the rate.
`commodity`	The type of publication. Either real-time or fixings
`interval`	The time period in which transaction data are considered for the calculation of the rate. If a rate's calculation methodology has an interval of 15 seconds, `startTime` and `endTime` will be separated by `15s`.
`quote`	The quote asset used for the rate denomination.
`bases`	The list of base assets included in the rate and their weight. For reference rates, this will always be a single asset.
`exchanges`	The exchanges involved in the computation. This list may change every quarter during the rebalancing period and depending on the new results of the Kaiko Exchange Ranking.
`percentages`	The different distribution levels included in the price computation.
`price`	The value of the rate in the quote denomination.
`pairs`	The list of pairs combined with additional details included in the computation.
`tsEvent`	The exact time of price publication.
