What is the difference between API requests and calculations?

Learn what we mean by requests or calls and calculations

Updated this week

Every time you send a request to our API, it counts as 1 API request. But each API request can calculate up to 20 different indicator values.

Let's say you are interested in BTC/USDT on the 1h timeframe and you want to know the value of these multiple indicators: RSI(14), MA(20), MA(50), MACD and KDJ. That is 5 different calculations, but instead of sending 5 API request, you can group these calculations using a bulk query, spending just 1 API call and getting all 5 calculations back in one request.
