API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Coinbase Pro WebSocket API 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.

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="coinbase",
    from_date="2019-07-01",
    to_date="2019-07-02",
    filters=[Channel(name="l2update", symbols=["BTC-USD"])]
  )

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


asyncio.run(replay())

Captured real-time channels

See Coinbase Pro 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.

• received

• open

• done

• match

• change

• l2update

• ticker

• snapshot

• last_match

• full_snapshot - generated channel with full order book L3 snapshots Coinbase Pro (formerly GDAX) real-time WebSocket API provides initial full order book snapshots for level2, but not for full channel. To overcome this issue we fetch initial order book snapshots from REST API and store them together with rest of the WebSocket messages. Such snapshot messages are marked with "type":"full_snapshot" and "generated":true fields. This effectively allows reconstructing historical full order book for full (L3) channel. Validation based on sequence numbers if full_snapshot overlap with WS L3 updates has been added 2020-06-11.
