Platform Overview

Forecast should be legible as a platform before it is exhaustive as a reference.

​
The three surfaces

Historical

Archive products for querying and exporting the market lake.

Realtime

Operational reads for dashboards, scanners, and live systems.

Product

Private workspace objects for automation and research workflows.

​
Historical

Use the historical surface for:
  • archive access
  • bulk download
  • research queries over past market activity
The initial families are markets, trades, and candles, with deeper order-book products later.

​
Realtime

Use the realtime surface for:
  • live market views
  • tick windows
  • current order-book state
These are the reads that power terminals, scanners, and monitoring.

​
Product

Use the product surface for:
  • backtests
  • bots
  • strategies
These resources are user-scoped and mutable, so they should be documented and priced differently from market data.

​
Editorial rule

If a page maps to a live route, it should show the current path and real behavior. If a page maps to a planned product, it should explain the intended contract without pretending the endpoint is already finalized.
