}Order-flow analytics per time bucket: taker buy versus sell notional, net
quantity, and running cumulative volume delta (CVD).
side is the taker’s
direction (long means bought). Choose a bucket from 1m to 1d and bound the
response with after and before.
Buckets are oldest first because CVD is a running sum from the start of the
window. A plain call starts at the beginning of the archive on July 9, 2026.
For recent flow, pass after so CVD accumulates over exactly the requested
window.
CVD remains a bounded single-page series. This route does not accept a cursor.Authorizations
Path Parameters
Instrument id (6), symbol (BTC-USD), or bare asset (btc).
