What is Multiply?

Multiply is a math function that multiplies two input series; with the default input it multiplies the close by itself. On TAAPI.IO it runs on the candles you request, so you can get the result without doing the calculation on your side.

Multiply formula

Output	Calculation
Output	close × close

How to read Multiply in your code

Signal	Meaning	Condition
Result	Function output for the candle	`value`

Limitations: It is computed with the Tulip library. mult is the TA-Lib version. Nothing on this page is financial advice.

Compare the last two closed Multiply values

Use backtrack=1 to skip the candle still forming, and results=2 to compare the last two closed candles. Arrays run oldest first.

curl -G https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/mul \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "exchange=binance" \
  --data-urlencode "symbol=BTCUSDT" \
  --data-urlencode "timeframe=1h" \
  --data-urlencode "results=2" \
  --data-urlencode "backtrack=1"

import requests

resp = requests.get(
    'https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/mul',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'},
    params={'exchange': 'binance', 'symbol': 'BTCUSDT', 'timeframe': '1h', 'results': 2, 'backtrack': 1},
)
data = resp.json()
prev, last = data['value']
print('value', prev, '->', last)
print('rising' if last > prev else 'falling or flat')

Get historical Multiply 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/mul \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "exchange=binance" \
  --data-urlencode "symbol=BTCUSDT" \
  --data-urlencode "timeframe=1h" \
  --data-urlencode "results=100"

Get Multiply for multiple symbols

Combine Multiply 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.

Multiply API FAQ

What does the Multiply API return?

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

Is the latest Multiply 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 Multiply for US stocks?

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