Kaiko data through BigQuery is now available in real-time

2024-07-19

We’ve made improvements to how you integrate our data by enabling real-time access to BigQuery, so you can now access our insights when and where you need them most.

This means you can conduct ongoing real-time analysis directly in the BigQuery platform, eliminating the need for support from your development team in making individual API calls. BigQuery also brings the power of data visualization to Kaiko data.

This update applies to:

You can learn more about how to receive Kaiko data through BigQuery or check out the full range of products available through BigQuery in our data dictionary.

Track the most popular assets on leading DEXs such as Uniswap to uncover high-potential early stage tokens not yet listed on centralized exchanges.

How to build the request

With the Market Metrics , you can use the following parameters to source the specific information you're looking for:

Evaluate the market outlook for various dates using our solution. IV provides one figure that accounts for options contracts with various strikes and expiries, enabling a more accurate view of the overall market sentiment. For example, if an IV curve is steep to the left, this suggests the prevailing market sentiment sees prices falling.

How to build the request

With the Implied Volatility endpoint, you can use the following parameters. This example calculates just one expiry, but you can also run a script locally to request and combine expiries like the chart above. Contact our operations team for support with this.

Data details

Convert your price to one of over 70 FOREX pairs with IFRs-Compliant rates for tax and compliance purposes.

Price slippage measures how liquid a market is by measuring the gap between the expected and actual price of a marker order. When markets drop and there are large sell-offs, slippage often increases and it becomes harder to buy or sell at your desired price. This varies by exchange, trading pair, and time of day. Using Kaiko's data, we can measure potential BTC slippage across exchanges for different trade sizes. This provides valuable insight for market traders looking to minimize losses.

How to build the request

Use (slippage) with the following parameters to replicate this chart.

Identify an asset's liquidity, put it into a ranking and then compare it with the market cap to evaluate its true value. Go beyond simple market capitalization to generate more accurate token value estimates.

The graph above shows the market depth for FFT, and highlights how there was a significant drop in liquidity - even though it was in the top 20 for market cap - prior to its collapse.

How to build the request

With the Market Metrics Asset endpoint, you can use the following parameters to source the specific information you're looking for:

Evaluate an asset's volume-to-liquidity ratio. If the USD volume substantially exceeds the depth of the order books (a high volume-to-depth ratio), it suggests that the genuine market demand isn't accurately represented by the current trading volume, hinting at possible wash trading.

The liquidity-volume-ratio is significantly higher on Bitforex.

How to build the request

With the Market Metrics Asset endpoint, you can use the following parameters to source the specific information you're looking for:

Meet AML compliance requirements with KYC, KYT, and source of wealth checks, plus crypto network analysis of token supply, decentralization, and mining dynamics.

Data details

Market depth is a measure of how well a market can handle large orders without impacting asset prices. A "deep" market has enough volume on both sides - bids (buy orders) and asks (sell orders) - to handle large orders while keeping prices stable. Market depth varies between exchanges and over time, so traders often monitor it across different platforms to determine the best market on which to trade.

Being able to react quickly to major hacks or market events before most others can help market participants execute trades and orders more effectively.

Take the Bybit hack as an example: a security breach occurred, but the market was slow to react. It wasn’t until hours later, when Bybit’s CEO made an official announcement, that a full market response took place. However, some participants spotted the early signs and acted before the news became public. Their trading activity left a visible footprint in trading data, creating a window of opportunity for others to recognize these early warning signs and react accordingly to capture the alpha. By doing so, they position themselves ahead of the broader market, rather than reacting after the widespread panic set in.

To secure the best trading conditions, market participants must monitor data in real-time and act quickly. Reacting early reduces the impact of their trades, helping them stay ahead before market depth deteriorates and a large-scale sell-off takes hold.

By leveraging via Kaiko Stream, participants gain access to real-time, tick-level trade data the moment transactions occur. This allows them to identify unusual market movements—such as an unexplained sell-off followed by a sharp recovery—and react swiftly to minimize losses and seize opportunities before the broader market.

Data details

Data descriptions

• Market depth (snapshot) - The number of orders at each price level either side of the mid price of an order book. The higher the order volume, the deeper and more liquid the market is. Shown as a point-in-time view generated every 30 seconds.

Tracing blockchain transactions and wallets is critical in the aftermath of a hack, enabling investigators to follow stolen funds, uncover illicit activity, and improve transparency. Kaiko Blockchain Monitoring provides direct, UI-free access to on-chain data, ensuring full control over data extraction and analysis. Unlike proprietary interfaces that can be restrictive, this approach allows for flexible, scalable investigations tailored to evolving threats.

This guide demonstrates how to:

• Trace fund movements across Ethereum wallets

• Aggregate and analyze on-chain flows

• Conduct scalable investigations without the constraints of a predefined UI

Request information on a single address or transaction

To see the balances and transactions for a single Ethereum wallet, use this request example.

Trace funds through several paths

To automatically trace the destination of funds, it's wise to use a custom Python script that:

• Queries multiple wallets in a batch request

• Automatically requests information on subesquent "hops" or flows

• Consolidates into a final list of destinations addresses

This script dynamically traces fund flows across multiple paths, quickly generating a csv with all wallets associated with the hack up to 4 hops. You can re-run the script any time to get an instantly up-to-date picture of the stolen funds and any new associated wallets. You can also add extra steps to trace across as many hops as required.
