How to call

Request format

GET

curl -X GET "https://newhedge.io/api/v2/metrics/crude-oil-correlation/METRIC_NAME?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN"

Query params

api_token (required) — 24 character token.

resolution (optional) — 1d only for the metrics on this chart. Any other value is refused with a 400 that names what is available; 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.

Definition

Value: WTI crude oil, USD per barrel. Earlier history is the EIA Cushing, Oklahoma spot price. From the changeover onward, each point is the NYMEX WTI front-month futures price, read once per day.

Units: usd

Timestamp: Labelled 00:00 UTC of the day it describes.

Calendar: calendar_daily

Revision policy: append_only. A stored day is never overwritten. History before the changeover is the EIA Cushing spot price and was not restated. Points from the changeover onward are the NYMEX WTI front-month futures price. Spot and front-month futures are different instruments, so values either side of the changeover are not directly comparable, and the futures price can step when the front month rolls.

Universe: West Texas Intermediate crude oil: EIA Cushing, Oklahoma spot before the changeover, then the NYMEX WTI front-month futures contract.
