Backtest with historical OHLCV
A backtest needs clean, dense candles over a long window. OHLCV is computed per DEX pool (EVM chains only — there is no DEX-pool OHLCV for Bitcoin), so pick the pool, pull the window, and cache it — the reads are cheap C1 so the cost of a full backtest is dominated by your compute, not the API.

- The chain, pool address, interval and window you want to test
1Pull the historical window
Request the chain, pool, interval and limit. OHLCV is a C1 read, so pulling a long window stays cheap.
curl "https://api.1st-node.com/v1/market/ohlcv?id=btc&interval=1h&limit=168" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."
2Read and normalize the candles
Each candle carries time, open, high, low, close, volume and a trade count. Sort by time and check for gaps before you run the strategy over the series.

> [1712000000, 68120.0, 68540.2, 67980.1, 68410.5, 1204.7] ] }3Cache once, iterate many times
Historical candles are immutable, so pull the window once and cache it locally. A tuning loop then reruns over cached data without spending credits on every pass.
Preguntas frecuentes
How do I cover a multi-month window?
Raise limit and repeat the pull, walking the window in batches (candles come back newest-first). Concatenate the pages in timestamp order into one series.
Will repeated backtests burn credits?
Only the initial pull. OHLCV is a cheap C1 read and historical candles never change, so cache the series and rerun your strategy for free.
