Can we get just the price information from the API? Updated in real-time?

How to get a real-time price of an asset

Yes! Use the price indicator to get the latest price of the symbol you are interested in. The value is updated with every new trade on the exchange, so each call returns a fresh price.

Example API query (price)

curl "https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/price?exchange=binance&symbol=BTCUSDT&timeframe=1h" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Response (price)

{
"value": [76942],
"timestamp": [1793653200]
}

You can also use the /candles endpoint to get the price together with the other OHLCV values. Use results=1 to get only the current candle:

Example API query (candles)

curl "https://v2.taapi.io/candles?exchange=binance&symbol=BTCUSDT&timeframe=1h&results=1" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Response (candles)

The most recent price is the close value of the current candle:

[
{
"open": 76779.72,
"high": 76999.36,
"low": 76723.25,
"close": 76942,
"volume": 285.149,
"timestamp": 1793653200,
"timestampHuman": "2026-11-02 21:00:00"
}
]

The values change in real time every time you make the request.
