Get Exponential with one API call

This request returns Exponential for BTCUSDT on 1-hour Binance candles. Add your API key to run it here.

curl -G https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/exp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "exchange=binance" \
  --data-urlencode "symbol=BTCUSDT" \
  --data-urlencode "timeframe=1h"

import requests

resp = requests.get(
    'https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/exp',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'},
    params={'exchange': 'binance', 'symbol': 'BTCUSDT', 'timeframe': '1h'},
)
print(resp.json())

const params = new URLSearchParams({"exchange": "binance", "symbol": "BTCUSDT", "timeframe": "1h"});
const res = await fetch(`https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/exp?${params}`, {
  headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' },

What is Exponential?

Exponential is a math function that raises e to the power of the input. On TAAPI.IO it runs on the candles you request, so you can get the result without doing the calculation on your side.

Result	Function output for the candle	`value`

Limitations: It overflows on typical prices. It is intended for small, transformed values. Nothing on this page is financial advice.

Read Exponential from Python

Use backtrack=1 to read the result as of the last closed candle.

curl -G https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/exp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "exchange=binance" \
  --data-urlencode "symbol=BTCUSDT" \
  --data-urlencode "timeframe=1h" \
  --data-urlencode "backtrack=1"

import requests

resp = requests.get(
    'https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/exp',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'},
    params={'exchange': 'binance', 'symbol': 'BTCUSDT', 'timeframe': '1h', 'backtrack': 1},
)
data = resp.json()
print(data['value'])

Get historical Exponential values

Add results to return a series for backtesting or charting. The last element is the most recent candle.

curl -G https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/exp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "exchange=binance" \
  --data-urlencode "symbol=BTCUSDT" \
  --data-urlencode "timeframe=1h" \
  --data-urlencode "results=100"

Get Exponential for multiple symbols

Combine Exponential with other indicators in one request. Each exchange, symbol and timeframe combination is one construct: Basic allows 1 per request, Pro 3 and Expert 10.

Stream Exponential in real time

Subscribe over WebSocket to receive new values every 5 seconds while the candle is forming. Streaming supports 1m, 5m, 15m and 1h, and uses interval where REST uses timeframe.

Exponential API FAQ

What does the Exponential API return?

It returns value, plus a timestamp for the request. Results are JSON.

Is the latest Exponential value final?

No. The newest value belongs to the candle still forming and can change until it closes. Add backtrack=1 to read the last closed candle.

Can I get Exponential for US stocks?

Yes. Use exchange=stocks with a ticker such as AAPL. US stocks are included on the Pro plan and above.
