Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`label`	`entity.name`	-
`updated`	`ext.updated`	-
`id`	`ext.dimensions`	-
`size`	`ext.size`	-
`value`	`ext.values`	-
`status`	`ext.flags`	-
`dimension.geo.category`	`ext.geo`	-
`dimension.time.category`	`ext.time`	-
`dimension.coicop.category`	`ext.coicop`	-
`dimension.unit.category`	`ext.unit`	-

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 6 hours. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 6 hours and 7 days the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 7 days more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 1 hour and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	That record does not exist. Free; do not retry.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
502	`upstream_error`	The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.

See Errors for the full list and retry guidance.
