API Credits

In our API, each call to an endpoint typically consumes one API credit. However, an important exception exists for bulk endpoints.

Bulk Endpoints and API Credits

Bulk endpoints allow users to retrieve data for multiple parameter combinations in a single request. While this is efficient in terms of reducing the number of API calls, it's essential to understand how API credits are consumed:

• Credit Calculation: Each request to a bulk endpoint consumes as many API credits as individual calls to the standard endpoint would. For example:

  • Calling the /market/mvrv/bulk endpoint with 5 assets will consume 5 API credits.

  • If a bulk request includes 5 assets and 5 exchanges, it will consume 25 API credits (one for each combination's metric value).

• Parameter Whitelists: When parameters are not specified (i.e., no whitelists are applied), the bulk endpoint returns data for all possible parameter values. This can lead to a significant number of API credits being consumed. To manage and predict credit usage effectively, it's advisable to:
