title: Bittrex API - delay in candle (OHLC) data
body: <p>(originally asked in <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/70272/bittrex-api-3-minute-delay">bitcoin.stackexchange</a> but didn't get much traction there ... )</p>
  
  <p>I'm noticing that the Bittrex API (both v1.1 and v2.0) have a 3 to 4 minute delay when getting data, i.e. GetLatestTick: <a href="https://bittrex.com/api/v2.0/pub/market/GetLatestTick?marketName=BTC-NEO&amp;tickInterval=hour" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bittrex.com/api/v2.0/pub/market/GetLatestTick?marketName=BTC-NEO&amp;tickInterval=hour</a></p>
  
  <p>So if you make a request say at 8:00PM, it will not bring the 7:00 to 8:00PM candle (OHLC) data until 8:03PM, some times 8:04PM ...</p>
  
  <p>I thought about constructing my own candles querying the API every few seconds with /getticker - but for a few cryptos it will get lengthy and might get banned for the amount of requests per second ...</p>
  
  <p>Contacted Bittrex, but never had a response back.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone knows any other method to get candle data sooner?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
