# Latest price for one pair

> The most recent bid/mid/ask for a single pair, given as `BASE-QUOTE` (e.g. `BTC-USD`). Identical to `/v1/prices` but scoped to one symbol — use it for a single-market view, or for a quick quote before submitting an order, rather than fetching every pair and discarding the rest.

A `404` means no price is available for that pair: either the symbol is wrong, or it has not traded since the service started. Check `timestampSeconds` on the tick to judge how fresh the quote is.

Rate limit: 100 requests per 10 seconds per IP. Read `x-ratelimit-*` for the live budget rather than assuming this figure.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/prices/{pair}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ostium Builder API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    REST API for the Ostium Builder SDK and integrating partners: live prices,
    depth, OHLC, and market hours.


    ## Authentication


    **None required today.**


    ## Quick start


    1. **Snapshot** — `GET /v1/prices` (or `GET /v1/prices/{pair}`) for an
    initial board.

    2. **Stream** — connect to `WS /v1/prices/stream` for live ticks — see the
    **Price Stream** section.

    3. **Candles** — `POST /v1/ohlc` for historical OHLC.

    4. **Sessions** — `GET /v1/market-hours` for calendars (cache it; use tick
    flags for “open right now”). The pair list is under **Markets**.

    5. **Depth** — `GET /v1/depth/{pair}/quote` for the price a given size
    actually gets.

    6. **Status** — `GET /v1/status` to check the price feed is live before
    relying on quotes.


    Typed clients: use `@ostium/builder-sdk`, or generate one from this document
    with any OpenAPI 3.1 client generator.


    ## Rate limits


    Applied per IP. Most limits are per route; where a group of endpoints shares
    one budget the endpoint's own description says so. Every rate-limited
    response carries `x-ratelimit-limit`, `x-ratelimit-remaining`, and
    `x-ratelimit-reset`; 429s add `retry-after`. **Read the headers** — do not
    hard-code the documented figures.


    ## Errors


    Two envelopes:


    - **Framework** — `{ "error": "<Status Name>", "message": "..." }` (optional
    `issues` / `details`).

    - **Upstream proxy** — `{ "error": "<human message>" }` from OHLC failures.


    `error` means different things across the two shapes — do not switch on it
    alone until a future major version unifies them.


    Every response carries `x-request-id`. Quote it when reporting a problem.

    description: >-
      Live prices over a WebSocket. This section is the contract — everything
      below is what the

      server actually sends.


      ### Connecting


      ```

      wss://builder.prod.bedrock.ostium.io/v1/prices/stream?pairs=BTC-USD,ETH-USD

      ```


      `?pairs=` is optional; omit it to receive every asset. No authentication,
      though the handshake is

      capped — see **Limits**. Browser clients are subject to an origin
      allowlist; a rejected upgrade is

      closed with a bare `403`.


      ### Server messages


      One snapshot on connect, carrying the `seq` baseline for every asset:


      ```json

      { "type": "snapshot", "seq": { "BTC-USD": 41 }, "data": [{ "pair":
      "BTC-USD", "bid": 1, "mid": 1, "ask": 1 }] }

      ```


      Then one frame per tick:


      ```json

      { "type": "tick", "seq": 42, "data": { "pair": "BTC-USD", "bid": 1, "mid":
      1, "ask": 1 } }

      ```


      `data` is byte-identical to a row from `GET /v1/prices` — `seq` sits on
      the frame, not inside it,

      so the tick payload stays the same shape as REST.


      | `type` | Sent when |

      | --- | --- |

      | `snapshot` | Once, on connect |

      | `tick` | A price updates |

      | `gap` | Ticks were dropped for you — precedes the next frame you receive
      |

      | `ack` | Your `subscribe`/`unsubscribe` was applied |

      | `error` | Your message was rejected; the filter is unchanged |


      ### Client messages


      ```json

      { "type": "subscribe",   "pairs": ["EUR-USD"] }

      { "type": "unsubscribe", "pairs": ["EUR-USD"] }

      ```


      Every message gets exactly one reply — an `ack` carrying `pairCount` (the
      number of assets you now

      receive; `null` is all of them, `0` is none), or an `error` carrying a
      `code` of `malformed`,

      `unknown_type`, `invalid_pairs`, `no_filter` or `rate_limited`.


      ```json

      { "type": "ack",   "for": "subscribe", "pairCount": 2 }

      { "type": "error", "code": "no_filter", "message": "..." }

      ```


      Filters only widen. `subscribe` on an unfiltered connection is a no-op
      acked with

      `"pairCount": null` — to narrow, reconnect with `?pairs=`. `unsubscribe`
      needs a filtered

      connection and is rejected with `no_filter` otherwise. Unsubscribing your
      last asset leaves you

      receiving nothing (`"pairCount": 0`), which `subscribe` recovers without
      reconnecting.


      ### Detecting loss


      Delivery is best effort, but loss is **detectable**. If more than 1 MB is
      buffered for a slow

      client, ticks are dropped rather than queued — and you are told:


      ```json

      { "type": "gap", "dropped": 17 }

      ```


      `seq` is a per-asset counter, so a jump between consecutive `tick` frames
      for one asset means you

      missed that many. Baseline each asset from the `snapshot`, then compare.


      Two limits on what `seq` can tell you. It is **per connection** —
      process-wide, not global, so it

      does not survive a reconnect and is not comparable across replicas. And
      there is **no replay**: the

      stream tells you that you fell behind, not what you missed, so recover by
      re-reading

      `GET /v1/prices`.


      Assets with no trading schedule are omitted entirely, from the snapshot
      and from ticks. A missing

      asset is not a signal that its market is closed.


      ### Limits


      Per pod, so the effective ceiling scales with replica count. Read the
      headers on a rejected

      upgrade rather than hard-coding these.


      | Limit | Default | Rejected with |

      | --- | --- | --- |

      | Connections per IP | 20 | `429` |

      | Connections in total | 500 | `503` |

      | Upgrades per IP per minute | 60 | `429` |

      | Client messages per socket per minute | 120 | `error`, `code:
      "rate_limited"` |


      Rejected upgrades carry `Retry-After`.


      ### Heartbeat


      The server pings every 30 seconds and terminates a connection that has not
      ponged since the

      previous ping. Browsers pong automatically; other clients need a library
      that does. On shutdown the

      server closes with `1001 going away` after draining.

      ### Pairs


      Every pair on Ostium. Use `id` wherever a request takes a `pairIndex`, and
      the symbol wherever

      one takes a `pair`. Do not infer the id from a row's position — read the
      column.


      A pair marked `not yet` in **Tradeable** is listed on chain but has no
      open-interest ceiling, so

      it cannot be traded and `GET /v1/depth/{pair}` answers `503` for it (the
      `/quote`

      sub-resource still prices it, with `availableNotionalUsd: 0`). It is shown
      rather than hidden so

      the ids either side of it stay right.


      Note `GET /v1/pairs` returns the subgraph's own spelling in `from`/`to`,
      which for renamed

      assets is the legacy one — `SPX` where this table says `US500`. The table
      uses the symbol the

      price and depth endpoints expect.
