Bitcoin Activity Rate

Transaction, input, and output throughput per second on the Bitcoin network

How to call

Request format

GET
curl -X GET "https://newhedge.io/api/v2/metrics/activity-rate/METRIC_NAME?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN"
Query params

api_token (required) — 24 character token.

resolution (optional) — 1d (default), 12h, 4h, 1h, 30m, 10m, coarsest to finest. Finer buckets are served to Advanced and Enterprise accounts, and only for the metrics that ingest them (listed per metric below); see Resolutions.

before (optional) — exclusive cursor, returns observations older than this timestamp_ms. Works on every resolution.

limit (optional) — the most recent N observations, maximum 5000. Finer resolutions page by default (2500); a 1d request returns the whole series unless you send limit or before.

before and limit narrow a time series. A response with no single time axis, such as a hash keyed by venue or a labelled snapshot table, has nothing to cut on. It is returned whole, and both parameters are ignored rather than rejected.

A before that is not a positive epoch-millisecond timestamp is a 400. It is the one paging value we reject rather than ignore, because a page size has a sensible default and a cursor does not.

include (optional) — definition wraps the response as {"definition": …, "data": …} and returns the record shown under each metric; see Definitions. Any other value is a 400.

Path params

:metric_name — one of the metric names listed below.

Responses

200 with JSON payload, 400 for an unknown include value, 401 for missing/invalid token, 404 for missing resources.

Metrics

Each metric is fetched independently. Responses are trimmed samples to show structure.

Definition (from the chart description)

Value: TX/sec — Bitcoin Activity Rate: Transaction, input, and output throughput per second on the Bitcoin network.

Units: transactions

Timestamp (1d): Labelled 00:00 UTC of the day it describes.

Timestamp (finer resolutions): A finer resolution is labelled in UTC at the end of the interval it covers, not at its start. Add include=definition to a request and the definition describes the bucket that request was served.

Calendar: calendar_daily
