Title: blockchain_market_price_history returns price from quote but volume from base
Post by: monsterer on October 08, 2014, 10:20:25 am

When calling

Code: [Select]

blockchain_market_price_hostory ["USD","BTSX","20141003T000000",86400,"each_day"]
we get:

Code: [Select]

{"timestamp":"20141004T000000","highest_bid":0.032679738562091512,"lowest_ask":0.030519999755840001,"opening_price":0.032880567913168998,"closing_price":0.032880567913168998,"volume":99851850031,"recent_average_price":null}
which has price in USD (quote price) but volume in BTSX (base volume).

Is this by design?

Cheers, Paul.

Yes. Volume measurements are always given in the base asset.

You're right - I was confused.
