All our price-data and indicators data are provided in real-time. Every time you make a request to our API, you get the latest value available.
Candles are always compiled and structured according to a specific timeframe (or interval). With crypto currencies, markets are open 24/7. This means that all timeframes are constructed based on their respective starting point in time. For instance, the hourly timeframe always starts at every 00 minutes and ends at every 59 minutes. Candles contain information about all trades made within this interval, and every candle consists of 6 values:
timestamp (UTC)
open (the starting price for this interval)
high (the highest traded price within this interval)
low (the lowest traded price within this interval)
close (the closing price at the end of this interval)
volume (the accumulated volume for every trade made within this interval)
