Split by market and endpoint
Do not assume one freshness model. Crypto tape and books are venue-live; equity quotes require market= and stop at top-of-book this phase.
Crypto: live venue prices, klines, books, and trades; current derivatives metrics. Equities (US/HK): snapshot, kline, and top-of-book when market= is set — not the same depth or trade tape.
GateData.ai Market Data API serves AI agents, quant teams, and trading apps over REST and MCP. Crypto snapshot, kline, order book, and trades come from live venue APIs (Gate first-party where applicable). US / HK equities need market= on REST snapshot, kline, and top-of-book (often incomplete). Liquidity history, aggregated CEX depth, and per-venue derivatives are crypto historical snapshots; coin-level derivatives are current crypto metrics. See the coverage table below.

Do not assume one freshness model. Crypto tape and books are venue-live; equity quotes require market= and stop at top-of-book this phase.
Live datasets in this domain are available through REST endpoints and native MCP tools for Claude, Cursor, and custom agents.
Snapshot is current; kline defaults to 30 days; crypto books default depth 20; equity books are depth=1; liquidity history defaults to 7 days.

Equity queries on those paths are not covered this phase.
No. With market=us_equity or market=hk_equity you get request-time snapshot, kline, and bid/ask. There is no equity trade tape or multi-level book. Other equity markets are not covered.
Use REST with Bearer auth, POST /mcp Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC), or tool-invoke POST /mcp/markets with { tool, arguments }. See Quick Start for market_data_query (task=snapshot). Equity calls must pass context.market.
