Use Case: REST OHLCV Daily Backfill Cost Estimate
A sample Market Data API pricing simulation for daily REST OHLCV historical downloads.
Use Case: REST OHLCV Daily Backfill Cost Estimate
This example estimates the cost of using the Market Data API REST protocol to download 1MIN OHLCV history for multiple symbols each day.
Assumptions
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | REST |
| Endpoint type | Historical OHLCV |
| Symbols | 50 symbols |
| Period | 1MIN |
| Time range | 1 day per symbol |
| Data points per symbol | 1,440 |
| Total data points per day | 72,000 |
| REST credit rule | 100 data points = 1 REST Credit |
| Estimated REST Credits/day | 720 REST Credits |
Estimated REST usage
72,000 data points ÷ 100 = 720 REST Credits/day
Plan comparison
| Plan | Included REST Credits/day | Estimated result |
|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | Metered | 720 REST Credits/day billed as used |
| Startup | 1,000 REST Credits/day | Covered |
| Streamer | 10,000 REST Credits/day | Covered, but more than needed |
| Pro | 100,000 REST Credits/day | Covered, but more than needed |
Pay As You Go estimate
REST Credits are priced using daily tiers. Since this example uses fewer than 1,000 REST Credits/day, the first tier applies:
720 ÷ 1,000 × $5.26 = $3.79/day
Estimated 30-day usage:
$3.79 × 30 = $113.70/month
Result
For this sample, Startup may be the best fit because the usage stays within the included 1,000 REST Credits/day.
Pay As You Go may still be simpler for occasional or irregular backfills. Streamer and Pro are better suited for customers with higher REST usage or WebSocket data needs.
Caveat
REST Credit usage depends on the endpoint and request parameters. When the limit parameter is used, each 100 data points returned is counted as one REST Credit. If limit is not used or not available, each API call is counted as one request.
