Responses are cached at the edge for 10 seconds to 15 minutes. Polling faster than that just returns the same data.
Please cache on your side and keep it under about one request per 10 seconds per app.

Fields may be added over time. We try not to rename or remove existing ones. The reference-price endpoints are versioned and stable.

How the reference price is calculated: methodology. Building something with it? Tell us on X at @Xbt_Live and we'll add it to tools.
