API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time AscendEX Exchange WebSocket API v2 (https://ascendex.github.io/ascendex-futures-pro-api-v2/#websocket) with addition of local timestamps. If you'd like to work with normalized data format instead (same format for each exchange) see downloadable CSV files or official client libs that perform data normalization client-side.

# pip install tardis-client
import asyncio
from tardis_client import TardisClient, Channel

  messages = tardis_client.replay(
    exchange="ascendex",
    from_date="2023-03-01",
    to_date="2023-03-02",
    filters=[Channel(name="trades", symbols=["BTC-PERP"])]

  # messages as provided by Ascendex real-time stream
  async for local_timestamp, message in messages:
