Incorrect historical data

[bgits]

Calling: cryptocompare.get_historical_price_day('ETH') seems to have price errors compared with the REST api.

library returns most recent as:

{'time': 1675814400,
 'high': 1580.22,
 'low': 1552.67,
 'open': 1557.99,

 'close': 1561.35,
 'conversionType': 'direct',

That's because it's actually not the same request, the timestamps are different. They are a week apart.

Ok, why does the response end there?

When I do:

eth_daily = cryptocompare.get_historical_price_day('ETH')
eth_daily[-1]

This is the last entry:

{'time': 1675814400,
 'high': 1580.22,
 'low': 1521.66,
 'open': 1557.99,
 'volumefrom': 32914.83,
 'volumeto': 51043125.43,
 'close': 1536.68,
 'conversionType': 'direct',
 'conversionSymbol': ''}

What do you mean? Every time you comment on here, if I go and send the same request, I'll get a different result. Please describe any issues with more detail or I won't be able to help.

The timestamp corresponds to Feb 07, 2023, however those prices are not from that date. They are not from the day prior either as the OHLC were all above 1600.

Are you aware that there is an e parameter that selects the exchange? Because if you send a request for one exchange, but check the price on another, those probably don't match down to decimals.
