Live Data API
How do I use this live data in my own tools?

Plain JSON and webhooks
How to read this
Each tool answers one question and says how much data is behind its numbers.
What live means
A page asks for fresh numbers every few seconds while you are looking at it, and stops when you switch to another tab.
When the feed stops
The page says “Live feed paused” and shows the time of its last update, in UTC. Numbers left on the screen are the last ones received.
Units and samples
Every number carries its unit. A rate or a record is shown with the number of cases it is counted from.
Understanding

What does live mean here?
The numbers come from Maketo's own feed. Your browser asks for them every few seconds while the page is open and stops while the tab is hidden, so a page left open in the background does not keep working. If the feed stops, the page says so and shows when it last updated, so an old number is never read as a current one.
Which way will the price go?
Most of what these tools show is about how much and how soon, not which way. They show what is moving and leave the call to you. The one exception is the bounce-back lean on Next Window, which is shown together with its own live record.
What is the waiting room?
Bitcoin payments do not settle at once. They wait in a queue called the mempool (the waiting room) until a miner puts them in a block, which happens about every ten minutes. Live Flow and Block Clock watch that queue.
