The Stellar Development Foundation announced a new ticker API providing real-time market data about assets, markets, and issuers on the Stellar Network. The API offers enhanced functionality including OHLC values, orderbook statistics, and a GraphQL interface, with the previous SDF-hosted ticker instance decommissioned on January 3, 2024.
The Stellar Development Foundation released an upgraded ticker API to provide fresh, dynamic data about Markets, Issuers, and Assets on the Stellar Network. The new ticker improves upon the previous version with faster refresh rates and expanded data availability, including OHLC (open-high-low-close) values, 7-day statistics, orderbook metrics, and a comprehensive list of active assets. The API offers both JSON endpoints (/assets.json and /markets.json) and a GraphQL interface for flexible querying. The original SDF-hosted ticker instance was decommissioned on January 3, 2024, due to insufficient usage, though the open-source code remains available for developers to deploy and customize. The ticker is essential infrastructure for platforms like CoinMarketCap that display accurate market information about Stellar trading pairs.
