Calling historic data endpoint with "paging.newer" request immediately returns single record #154

Hi, I would have thaught that 'immediately' calling the 'paging.newer" endpoint returned by the historic data endpoint would return no data - however it returns a single item.

Is this so that we can 'overwrite' the data on our end for that particular timestamp since it may have changed?

Hi @sushant40 ,

It is only returning a datapoint because the since parameter is inclusive. It is not meant to indicate that calling the newer endpoint would necessarily give you an updated candle. In fact, we don't recommend polling this endpoint for real-time candle updates.

Cheers, Justin
