# iterate over and download all data for every symbol
for symbol in exchange_details["datasets"]["symbols"]:
    # alternatively specify datatypes explicitly ['trades', 'incremental_book_L2', 'quotes'] etc
    # see available options https://docs.tardis.dev/downloadable-csv-files#data-types
    data_types = symbol["dataTypes"]  
    symbol_id = symbol["id"]
    from_date =  symbol["availableSince"]

    # skip groupped symbols
    if symbol_id in ['PERPETUALS', 'SPOT', 'FUTURES']:

API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time FTX US 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 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="ftx-us",
    from_date="2020-06-01",
    to_date="2020-06-02",
    filters=[Channel(name="orderbook", symbols=["BTC/USD"])]
  )

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


asyncio.run(replay())

See Python client docs.
