# Get Adx

`GET /api/v1/indicators/adx`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://cryptodataapi.com`
- URL: `https://cryptodataapi.com/api/v1/indicators/adx`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

ADX(14) + DMI per asset on daily, 4h or 1h bars (Pro tier).

The same Wilder ADX/+DI/-DI the SIGNUM trend radar colours from, served as numbers per
interval: ``interval=1d`` matches ``/indicators/signum-rgg`` ``adx``, ``4h`` its
``h4_adx`` (completed bars on the UTC 00/04/08/12/16/20 grid of
``/hyperliquid/candles?interval=4h``) and ``1h`` its ``intraday_adx``. Recomputed hourly
(:05 UTC) for the whole universe, so a universe-wide read costs nothing.

Per row: ``adx``, ``plus_di``, ``minus_di``; ``direction`` (+DI vs -DI); ``strength``
against SIGNUM's bands (``strong`` >= 25, ``weak`` < 20); ``color`` (the SIGNUM state on
that interval); ``bar_open`` and ``final``. A row whose interval read is unavailable
(too few bars, or a stale intraday series) carries nulls and sorts last.

``history=N`` attaches the last N completed bars per row. For 4h and 1h that is a live
candle pull per symbol (memoised 30 minutes), so it needs ``coin`` with at most 5
symbols. An unrecognised query parameter is a 400.

Example gates: ``?coin=BTC&interval=4h`` -> ``items[0].adx > 25``;
``?interval=1d&min_adx=25&source=hyperliquid_perp`` -> every trending HL perp.

## Query parameters

- `coin` string, nullable: Comma list of symbols (BTC,ETH,kPEPE); omit for the whole universe. Symbols the universe does not cover are listed in `not_covered`.
- `symbol` string, nullable: Alias for `coin`. Send one or the other.
- `interval` '1d' | '4h' | '1h': Bar width: 1d and 4h read COMPLETED bars; 1h includes the bar forming at the hourly sweep (`final: false`)
- `source` 'binance_spot' | 'hyperliquid_perp', nullable
- `min_adx` number, nullable: Only rows with adx >= this
- `history` integer: Attach the last N completed bars per row (1d: up to 60; 4h: up to 90; 1h: up to 500). 4h/1h history needs `coin` with at most 5 symbols.
- `sort` 'adx' | 'symbol'
- `order` 'asc' | 'desc'
- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer
