This document outlines the caching durations applied to various API endpoints.
Markets
Endpoints: All Markets · Single Market
- Cache Duration: 1 minute
- Notes: Market data is relatively static. A 1-minute cache strikes a balance between performance and freshness.
OHLC
Endpoint: OHLC
- Cache Duration: 30 seconds
- Data Delay: Underlying OHLC data may itself be delayed by up to 1 minute.
- Effective Lag: Up to 1 minute 30 seconds behind real-time.
- Notes: This design reduces load while ensuring users have access to consistent, batched candlestick data.
Latest Prices
Endpoints: All Prices · Single Price
- Cache Duration: 1 second
- Notes: Price queries are the most latency-sensitive. The cache is kept minimal to support near-real-time pricing while still providing performance benefits.
Trading Limits
Endpoint: Trading Limits
- Cache Duration: None
- Notes: These values are critical for risk management and must always reflect the latest state.
Default Behavior
Unless otherwise specified, all GET endpoints default to:
- Cache Duration: 1 minute
- Notes: This ensures consistency across the API and reduces the need for endpoint-specific caching rules.
