Response fields

The field table is generated from real responses, so it lists exactly what the endpoint returns. Paths use a[] for array items and {*} for objects keyed by a dynamic name such as a coin or an exchange.

FieldTypeUnitDescription
successboolean—true when the request succeeded. On failure the body is `{ success: false, code, error, request_id }`.
dimstring—Dimension that was backtested (`liq`, the liquidation score).
daysnumber—Daily values or number of days.
nnumber—Number of items counted.
hitsnumbercountDays on which the direction predicted by the score matched the next day's price direction.
accuracynumber%`hits` ÷ `n` × 100.
strongNnumbercountDays whose absolute score was 50 or more.
strongAccuracynumber%Hit rate on the `strongN` days only.
baselinenumber%Coin-flip reference for comparison (50).
samplesarray—Number of samples.
samples[]object—Number of samples.
samples[].dstring—Calendar date (UTC).
samples[].scorenumber—Score.
samples[].nextRetnumber%Open-to-close price change of BTC on the following day.
samples[].prednumber—Predicted direction from the sign of the score: 1 up, −1 down, 0 none.
samples[].actualnumber—Actual direction from the sign of `nextRet`: 1 up, −1 down, 0 flat.
samples[].hitboolean—true when `pred` is not 0 and equals `actual`.

Authentication
None. Public endpoint.
Rate limit
1200 requests per minute per IP
Server cache
10m
Edge micro-cache
10s
Update frequency
recomputed on request (10 min cache)
Window
last 180 days by default (`days` 30-372)
Data sources
In-house backtest of the liquidation-imbalance signal against next-day BTC direction, using self-collected exchange liquidations and exchange daily klines.
Exchange coverage
BTC only; covers the liquidation dimension only (other five dimensions are not backtested); history limited to the period the liquidation collectors have been running.
Sorting
date ascending (last 60 samples returned)
Units
accuracy in percent; sample scores -100..+100
Method
For each day, sign of (short liquidations - long liquidations) / total is compared with the next daily candle direction; days with under 1M USD of liquidations are skipped; 'strong' accuracy uses |score| >= 50.
Timestamps
Unix epoch milliseconds (UTC) unless the field description says otherwise

Errors

Failed calls share one shape on every endpoint. The full list is on the errors page. Errors and rate limits →

CodeHTTPMeaningWhat to do
INVALID_PARAM400A required parameter is missing or a value is not accepted. `param` names the parameter when it is known.Do not retry unchanged; fix the request.
UNAUTHORIZED401The `CB-API-KEY` header was sent but the key is unknown or revoked. Public data needs no key — drop the header or use a valid key.Do not retry unchanged.
FORBIDDEN403The route is not part of the public API (internal or account-only).Do not retry.
NOT_FOUND404Unknown route, or the requested coin / exchange / fund does not exist.Do not retry; check the path and identifiers against the catalog.
RATE_LIMITED429More requests than the per-minute limit. `Retry-After` gives the seconds to wait.Wait for `Retry-After`, then retry with backoff.
INTERNAL500Unexpected server error. The message is generic by design; quote `request_id` when reporting it.Retry once after a few seconds; report it with the request id if it persists.
UPSTREAM_FAILED503The data source behind this endpoint did not answer in time. No stale or substitute numbers are returned in its place.Retry with backoff; check the status page.
UNAVAILABLE501 / 503The dataset is temporarily not ready (cache warming) or the endpoint has no lawful public source yet.Retry later; the catalog marks endpoints that are unavailable by design.
REQUEST_FAILED200Some older endpoints answer HTTP 200 with `success: false`. Always check `success`, not only the HTTP status.Depends on the message; treat as a failed request.
