Fields

4 fields, plus time

Every row carries time, the interval's start in milliseconds since the Unix epoch (UTC), and these fields. They are the Parquet columns over REST and the keys of data in a live frame.

FieldNameDescription
open_interestOpen InterestLast open interest value in the interval
open_interest_pct_changeOpen Interest % ChangePercentage change in open interest from the first value to the last value in the interval
open_interest_volatilityOpen Interest VolatilityStandard deviation of tick-to-tick open-interest percentage changes in the interval
oi_price_change_ratioOI/Price Change RatioOpen-interest return divided by mark-price return over the interval

History over REST

Parameters, files and errors for every dataset

One request returns download URLs for the Parquet files that cover your date range: a file per month for older history, a file per day from 2026-08-01. Request them again when they expire.

Parameters

ParameterValuesMeaning
timestampquery · requiredexchangetrueTimestamp source. 'exchange' uses the exchange-reported timestamp, 'true' uses actual arrival time at our servers.
intervalquery · required1m5m15m30m1h4h1dAggregation time interval for the data.
exchangequery · requiredbinance-futuresokx-perpshyperliquid-perpsSource exchange for the data.
symbolquery · requiredstringTrading pair symbol in the format of Atlas' universal symbology: https://github.com/aperiodic-io/atlas
start_datequery · requireddateStart date for the data range (YYYY-MM-DD format). A metric series starts on the first day of the raw series it is computed from (see /metadata/raw); raw trades and quotes start binance-futures from 2020-01-01, okx-perps from 2019-09-01, hyperliquid-perps from 2025-01-01. Earlier days return no files. How far back you can go depends on the plan: 5 years on Pro, full history on Prime, Prime + Raw and Institutional. An earlier start_date than the plan reaches returns 403.
end_datequery · requireddateEnd date for the data range (YYYY-MM-DD format). Must be greater than or equal to start_date.
