Describe your strategy. Your AI agent codes the rest.
Our whole API is written for AI coding agents to read end to end. Point Claude Code, Cursor or Codex at the docs, say what you want, and your agent turns the liquidation map into a working bot. No coding on your side.
REST · OpenAPI 3.1 · Bearer auth. The docs are fully public: explore everything before you pay.

}What you can build with it.
Candles are everywhere. The map of where leveraged positions get liquidated is not, and it's the data that moves price.
Bots that hunt liquidations
Price follows liquidity. Your bot reads the map at every candle close and trades toward the clusters, before the market goes looking for them.
Magnet-level alerts
Get pinged the moment stop-loss volume stacks up near price. The level you used to spot by staring at charts, delivered as JSON.
Smarter stop placement
Query the map before you place a stop and keep it out of the crowded pools, the levels where everyone else gets swept.
Two endpoints. The whole map.
No SDK to learn, no schema maze. One endpoint for right now, one for everything before it: the same data that renders the heatmap you trade with.
The most recent closed candle for any market. Poll it at every candle close and your code always trades on the freshest map.
Historical context for research and warming up your indicators. Fetch up to 2,000 candles per market in a single window (about a week of 5m data, or five years of daily), with cursor pagination inside it.
The full catalog of exchanges, symbols and modes. It's open: inspect exactly what you'd be buying before you spend a dollar.
Full reference (every parameter, error code and response schema) lives in the interactive docs (OpenAPI 3.1 + Swagger UI).
Four risk tiers per price level.
Every price level splits its stop-loss and liquidation volume into four leverage tiers. L1 is the conservative money (low leverage, long horizon). L4 is the scalpers, up to 100× in crypto.
Heavy L4 volume at a price tells you where scalpers get liquidated. Heavy L1 volume tells you even the careful money is exposed. Your strategy decides what to do with that.
Tier values are relative scores per symbol; compare levels within a market, not dollars across markets. The docs spell this out.
Crypto leverage mapping shown, per request mode (scalping 5m/15m/1h · swing 4h/1d). Forex, stocks and ETFs keep the same low→high ordering.
Liquidation maps where nobody else has them.
The same liquidation model runs across four asset classes. One key, one schema, every market.

Index flows at a glance
Crypto is live today; forex, stocks and ETFs are rolling out over the coming days. GET /v1/markets is the authoritative, always-current list — only markets returned with status: active serve data (public, no key required).
Built for traders. Documented for agents.
Every endpoint, parameter, schema and error code lives in one machine-readable OpenAPI file (public, no key required). Point Claude Code, Codex, Cursor (any coding agent) at it and it knows the whole API in seconds.
You describe the strategy. Your agent writes the integration. Pollers, indicator engines, alert bots: the spec has everything an agent needs to build them correctly on the first try, including rate-limit rules and retry semantics.
The spec and the interactive docs are public. Your agent can study the API before you buy a key.
The whole platform. Plus the feed.
Quant is a superset of the Trader Pack, our most popular plan: the full web platform for your screen time, the full API for your code. One subscription covers both.

Before you wire it up
The short answers. The long ones (with response schemas and error examples) are in the docs.
Crypto is live today across 60+ perpetual pairs on Binance and Bybit. Forex, stocks and ETFs are rolling out over the coming days, and we keep enabling more symbols. This page shows the full coverage we're building toward; for the exact list you can call right now, hit GET /v1/markets (public, no key required). It's always current, and only markets returned with status: active serve heatmap data.
No. Tier values are unit-less scores, meaningful relative to other levels of the same symbol. A level with L4 = 5000 has roughly 10× more scalping liquidation pressure than one with L4 = 500. Don't compare absolute numbers across symbols or exchanges.
A new snapshot exists at every candle close. Scalping markets (5m / 15m / 1h) update every 5 minutes; swing markets (4h / 1d) update hourly.
Up to 2,000 candles per request on /v1/heatmap, with cursor pagination inside that window. That's about 7 days of 5m data or 5+ years of daily candles in a single request.
Quant keys get rolling windows up to 15,000 requests per day (70 per minute). The historical range endpoint carries an extra cap of 10 per minute.

The market catalog (GET /v1/markets), the full documentation and the OpenAPI spec are public. You can read every response schema, error code and rate-limit rule before spending anything.
Nothing renews by itself. Plans are fixed-term (30 days or 12 months) and we never charge your card again automatically. When the term ends, access simply ends until you renew manually. Fixed terms are non-refundable once started, so if you want to test the water, start monthly.
No. Your key licenses the data for your own trading, bots, research and internal tools. You may not resell or redistribute the feed, or use it to run anything that competes with us, like re-publishing a liquidation heatmap on another site. If your product shows API data to your own users, include a visible "Powered by Trading Different". The Terms of Use have the details.
Because it's the data that moves price. Candles are everywhere; the map of where leveraged positions get liquidated is not. We started with the dataset we know best (four risk tiers, five timeframes, every market from BTC to SPY), and more indicators and data are on the way, under the same key and the same spec.
Give your models the map.
Thousands of traders watch this data on a screen. Yours can be the code that acts on it first.
