VWAP and TWAP are both price averages over an interval. But they weight observations differently — by volume and by time, respectively — and the divergence between them is itself a powerful signal about the quality of price moves.

Successful response with download URLs for every file covering the range — one per month before 2026-08-01, one per day from 2026-08-01 onwards
filesobject[]requiredFiles covering the requested date range, in chronological order. Data before 2026-08-01 is split by month (one file per calendar month, no `day`); data from 2026-08-01 onwards is split by day (one file per calendar day, with `day` set). The changeover falls on a month boundary, so a given month is served entirely one way or the other; a range spanning it returns the earlier months as monthly files followed by a daily file per day.
