API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Bitstamp WebSocket v2 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 can perform data normalization client-side.

# pip install tardis-client
import asyncio
from tardis_client import TardisClient, Channel
tardis_client = TardisClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

async def replay():
  # replay method returns Async Generator
  messages = tardis_client.replay(
    exchange="bitstamp",
    from_date="2019-07-01",
    to_date="2019-07-02",
    filters=[Channel(name="diff_order_book", symbols=["btcusd"])]
  )

  # messages as provided by Bitstamp real-time stream
  async for local_timestamp, message in messages:
    print(message)


asyncio.run(replay())

See Python client docs.

Captured real-time channels

Click any channel below to see HTTP API response with historical data recorded for it.

Bitstamp real-time WebSocket API does not provide initial full order book snapshots for live_orders and diff_order_book channels subscriptions. To overcome this issue we fetch initial order book snapshots from REST API and store them together with the rest of the WebSocket messages. Such snapshot messages are marked with "event": "snapshot" and "generated": true fields for respective channels.
