# Historical Crypto Data
|
|
|
|
This API provides historical market data for crypto. Check the [API Reference](https://docs.alpaca.markets/reference/cryptobars-1) for the detailed descriptions of all the endpoints.
|
|
|
|
Since Alpaca now executes all crypto orders in its own exchange, the v1beta3 crypto market data endpoints no longer distribute data from other providers, but from Alpaca itself.

> 📘 Crypto bars contain quote mid-prices
|
|

|
|
> Due to the volatility of some currencies, including lack of trade volume at any given time, we include the quote midpoint prices in the bars to offer a better data experience. If in a bar no trade happens, the volume will be 0, but the prices will be determined by the quote prices. |
