Questions

Is BTC or ETH included?
No. The API covers the altcoin and small-cap books the screener watches across 18 sources; the largest coins (BTC, ETH and other majors) are not included and answer 404 unknown_coin.
Why is a band sometimes null?
Depth is measured from the top levels of each book. When a band reaches beyond them we report null with band_truncated: true instead of guessing.
Do you return order book levels?
No. Only aggregates: spread, depth per band and slippage estimates.
How fresh is the data on each plan?
BASIC: 15-minute delay; PRO: 5-minute delay; ULTRA: updated every minute; MEGA: updated every minute.

18 exchange sources: spot and perpetual futures. Derived events and aggregates only: no raw order books, no trade tape, no detection rules. History is a rolling window up to 30 days back. The licence covers use inside your own application, bot, dashboard or research. Redistributing the data as a feed, an API or a dataset, or re-hosting it as an MCP server, is not allowed.
