### API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Gate.io **WebSocket v4 API** (v3 API for data before 2023-04-29) 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](/downloadable-csv-files/overview.md) or official [client libs](/api/quickstart.md) that can perform data normalization client-side.

[Tardis-machine](/tardis-machine/quickstart.md) is a locally runnable server that exposes API allowing efficiently requesting historical market data for whole time periods in contrast to [HTTP API](/api/http-api-reference.md) that provides data only in minute by minute slices.
