FAQ
Which markets does crypto cover?
Spot quotes and klines for major pairs. Traditional continuous futures (e.g. ES1!) use /market/tv-futures/kline under futures scope.
Do fields match exchange tickers?
Spot quote fields align with exchange-style tickers; candles add quoteVolume, trades, and takerBuy for easier migration.
How do I fetch longer history?
Max 1,000 bars per call — page with startTime / endTime (ms). Each call counts toward REST quota; cache locally.
Does Free include crypto?
Yes — realtime crypto (300 calls/day). Growth+ adds more markets and WebSocket streaming.
