Please tell us about any data you think Crypto Data API should nail but doesn't. We're data nerds who love to geek out about market data, trading bots, AI agents, or how to make your trading stack work in general. Prefer a form? Send feedback.
31 volatility indicators, from the AlgoBrain wiki. How much price is moving and is expected to move: ATR, bands, realized and implied vol, vol regimes. Each lists what it measures, the strategies that use it, the Crypto Data API endpoints that serve it or its inputs, and a prompt for an AI agent to compute it. All of them are in the API: GET /api/v1/indicators/catalog?group=volatility.
