I've queried Gdax API in the past and it seems that the API is currently returning a completely different data set for 'Volume'.
For example, when I queried the API for historical BTC prices around 1 year ago I got the following result set:
Epoch | Low | High | Open | Close | Volume
1517356860 9946.58 9998.42 9990.11 9946.59 2.66059942
1517356920 9927 9954.9 9935 9940.62 4.23884531
1517356980 9904.11 9940.63 9940.63 9909.12 2.19973319
1517357040 9909.12 9947.26 9909.2 9947.25 5.91939066
1517357100 9947.26 9995 9947.26 9989.98 5.56216334
1517357160 9909.12 9990.56 9990.56 9909.13 8.78513173
1517357220 9909.12 9948.97 9909.13 9946.1 5.03904978
1517357280 9946.1 9962.83 9946.11 9950.22 3.86148175
1517357340 9918.5 9950.22 9950.21 9918.51 5.53564686
1517357400 9918.51 9934.21 9918.51 9927.12 0.98890742
However, when I query API for same time frame I now get the following data set:
1517356860,9946.58,9998.42,9990.11,9946.59,12.75530468
1517356920,9927,9954.9,9946.58,9940.62,15.2790945
1517356980,9904.11,9940.63,9940.63,9909.12,15.94836064
1517357040,9909.12,9947.26,9909.13,9947.25,24.33637294
1517357100,9947.26,9995,9947.26,9989.98,21.57384641
1517357160,9909.12,9990.56,9989.99,9909.13,18.36038141
1517357220,9909.12,9948.97,9909.13,9946.1,15.38557231
1517357280,9946.1,9962.83,9946.11,9950.22,5.47653084
1517357340,9918.5,9950.22,9950.21,9918.51,11.45337408
1517357400,9918.51,9949,9918.51,9927.12,9.57149122
As you can see the 'volume' (last column) almost never matches previous data set while other columns match most of the time but not always.
What is the explanation for the discrepancy observed and which data should be relied on?
Thanks
