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.

Python

# 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.

Node.js

// npm install tardis-dev
const { replay } = require('tardis-dev');

async function run() {
  try {
    const messages = replay({
      exchange: 'bitstamp',
      from: '2019-07-01',
      to: '2019-07-02',
      filters: [{ channel: 'diff_order_book', symbols: ['btcusd'] }],
      apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
    });

    // messages as provided by Bitstamp real-time stream
    for await (const { localTimestamp, message } of messages) {
      console.log(localTimestamp, message);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
  }
}

run();

cURL & tardis-machine

curl -g 'localhost:8000/replay?options={"exchange":"bitstamp","filters":[{"channel":"diff_order_book","symbols":["btcusd"]}],"from":"2019-07-01","to":"2019-07-02"}'

Tardis-machine is a locally runnable server that exposes API allowing efficiently requesting historical market data for whole time periods in contrast to HTTP API that provides data only in minute by minute slices.

See tardis-machine docs.

Captured real-time channels

https://www.bitstamp.net/websocket/v2/www.bitstamp.net

See Bitstamp WebSocket API docs providing documentation for each captured channel's format

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

• live_trades
• live_orders
• diff_order_book

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.
