Market OHLC
Querying OHLC data within a specific time-range, it is better to define both the after and before parameters for more accurate results.
  • When both after and before parameters are defined, the command will query and fetch OHLC data for the defined range.
  • When only after has been specified, the before parameter will be updated to the current date (now) and the results will be within the range: after until now.
  • Supplying before without an after relies on cached data and returns variable results.
