Hello Product Hunt! We're excited to see CCD being launched here today and wanted to have a quick work about how it all started. We know the variety of crypto exchanges out there, i.e. kraken, binance, coinbase, kucoin, bitstamp, bittrex, etc. and the configuration you may have to extract historical candle data for one exchange is certainly (and sadly) not transferrable to another exchange. They have different syntax, they support different crypto pairs and intervals, some don't allow to specify start and end dates and the list goes on. CCD solves it by having a standard, unified way to interact with crypto exchanges. Initially, we built it for our internal use and then realized there might be more people in the same situation, so we made a product out of it. Hope you enjoy it!

Crypto candle data (also known as candlestick data) is a way to visually represent the price movements of a cryptocurrency over a specific period of time. It's commonly used in technical analysis by traders.

Each candlestick (or candle) shows four main price points for a given time frame (like 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, etc.):


Candlestick Components:

  1. Open – The price at the start of the time period

  2. Close – The price at the end of the time period

  3. High – The highest price reached during that period

  4. Low – The lowest price during that period

How to Read It:

  • Body: The thick part between the open and close.

    • If the close > open, the candle is typically green (price went up).

    • If the close < open, it's usually red (price went down).

  • Wicks (or shadows): Thin lines above and below the body, showing the high and low prices.

Example Timeframes:

  • 1m (1-minute candles)

  • 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d (daily), 1w (weekly), etc.

Why It Matters:


Candlestick patterns help traders spot trends, reversals, and potential price movements. They're used in charts across platforms like TradingView, Binance, Coinbase, and more.
