📊Candle Chart Data

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/candles

Description

This endpoint returns data for a given token and liquidity pair that can be used to create a candlestick chart. This endpoint is designed seamlessly with Trading View advanced charts.

Understanding the asset_id Parameter

The choice of asset_id determines the viewpoint from which market data is analyzed and presented in the candlestick chart:

• Chart Perspective: The orientation of the chart is directly influenced by the asset_id.

  • When the asset_id corresponds to the first token in the pair (token0), the chart displays the price movements and trading activity with this token as the focal point.

  • Conversely, if the asset_id is set to the second token in the pair (token1), the chart is oriented to highlight the price dynamics and transactions from the perspective of this token.

For example, with a trading pair of BNB (token0) and USDT (token1):

• If asset_id is BNB:

  • The chart will showcase the price fluctuations and trade volumes of BNB, with each candlestick representing BNB's price performance against USDT over the specified time intervals.

• If asset_id is USDT:

  • The perspective shifts to USDT's standpoint, with the chart illustrating how USDT's price moves relative to BNB, effectively making BNB the base token in this context.
