Timestamp

  • Follow each endpoint’s field description for the time format and unit; do not assume every timestamp is in milliseconds.
  • Unix timestamps are usually in milliseconds, but the capital-flow endpoint uses seconds. Dates may use YYYY-MM-DD; date-times may follow RFC 3339, for example 2026-09-21T05:30:00Z.
  • Unix timestamps identify UTC instants. Parse date-time strings using their included time-zone offset.
