2026.08.26 - Add Market Cap For OHLCV endpoints

A new OHLCV chart type option is now available for token OHLCV endpoints, allowing callers to return market cap candles instead of price candles without changing the response schema. OHLCV - Market Cap Chart Type GET /defi/v3/ohlcv
GET /defi/ohlcv

​

Features

• Add chart_type support for token OHLCV endpoints
• Support chart_type=price and chart_type=mcap
• Keep price as the default for backward compatibility
• Return market cap OHLC values when chart_type=mcap

​

Parameters

​

Response

The response keeps the existing OHLCV structure and can return:

• o, h, l, c - OHLC values as either price candles or market cap candles depending on chart_type
• v - token volume, unchanged
• v_usd / vUsd - USD volume, unchanged
• scaledO, scaledH, scaledL, scaledC - present according to ui_amount_mode; for chart_type=mcap, these mirror market cap OHLC values
• scaledV - unchanged and still follows existing scaled volume behavior
• address - token address
• type - candle interval
• currency - requested quote currency
• unix_time / unixTime - candle timestamp

​

Use cases

• Chart token market cap history with the same OHLCV integration already used for price charts
• Switch between price candles and market cap candles without changing downstream parsing
• Analyze market cap structure over time for meme coins, new listings, and volatile tokens
• Build charting or analytics features that need backward-compatible OHLCV responses with alternative candle semantics
