Downloadable historical OHLCVT (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, Trades) data
Last updated: September 16, 2026
OHLCVT data is the API equivalent to the candlesticks that are displayed on graphical charts (such as the Kraken Pro trading interface).
OHLCVT stands for Open, High, Low, Close, Volume and Trades and represents the following trading information within each time frame (such as one minute, five minute, hourly, daily, etc.):
- •
Open - the first traded price
- •
High - the highest traded price
- •
Low - the lowest traded price
- •
Close - the final traded price
- •
Volume - the total volume traded by all trades
- •
Trades - the number of individual trades
We provide downloadable CSV (comma separated) files containing OHLCVT data for each of our currency pairs from the beginning of each market up to the present.
Each ZIP file contains the relevant CSV files for 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240, 720 and 1440 minute intervals, which can be viewed in a text editor, used in code, converted into other formats (such as JSON, XML, etc.) or imported into a graphical charting application.
Note that the OHLCVT data only includes entries for intervals when trades happened, so any missing candlesticks indicate that no trades occurred during those intervals. Charting software often provides an option to display/hide empty intervals, which could be used to replace the missing candlesticks if needed.
OHLCVT data for several popular intervals can also be retrieved via our REST API OHLC endpoint, but there are some limitations (notably the amount of data that can be retrieved).
Complete Data
For clients that have not yet downloaded any historical OHLCVT data, the full history is available covering all available candlestick history for every currency pair — each pair from its first trade on Kraken through 30 June 2026.
Because the complete dataset is large, it is split into ~2 GB parts. Download every part, join them into a single ZIP file, then unzip.
1. Download all of the parts. These are direct file links — please don't click to open them in a browser (they will display as unreadable raw text). Right-click each link and choose "Save Link As…", or use the command line.

Optional — confirm each part downloaded cleanly against the published checksums:

2. Reassemble the parts into one ZIP file.
macOS / Linux:
cat Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip.part* > Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip
Windows (Command Prompt):
copy /b Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip.part00 + Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip.part01 + Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip.part02 + Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip.part03 + Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip.part04 Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip
3. Optional — verify the reassembled file matches the published checksum:
shasum -a 256 Kraken_OHLCVT_Full_2026Q2.zip
# expected: fc81b54cba6e12af3e9422dde9416179e6ef76af4831d48d839fbdb43018eaa4
4. Unzip the file and use the CSVs.
Incremental Updates
For clients that have already downloaded the historical OHLCVT data in the past, incremental updates are provided at the end of each quarter as single ZIP files (no reassembly required):
Kraken_OHLCVT_2026Q1.zip —https://assets.kraken.com/marketing/institutions/Kraken_OHLCVT_2026Q1.zip
Kraken_OHLCVT_2026Q2.zip —https://assets.kraken.com/marketing/institutions/Kraken_OHLCVT_2026Q2.zip
About the data
The download contains OHLCVT (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, Trades) candlestick data at 1, 5, 15, 60, 240, 720 and 1440-minute intervals, with one set of CSV files per currency pair. Each row is: `timestamp, open, high, low, close, volume, trades`. OHLCVT files do not include a header row. Only intervals in which trades occurred are included (gaps are not zero-filled). Each archive also contains a `MANIFEST.json` describing the build. The same data is available programmatically via Kraken's public REST API.
