Coverage, units and freshness
Contract counts and notional USD volume differ. A recorded result or status must be interpreted with the market's own rules and observation time.
Inspect any returned observation time, cache status, watermark, pagination and errors using their documented meanings. A successful request alone does not establish complete coverage. Where no freshness or completeness guarantee is documented, treat it as unknown. Saved Examples are historical and viewing them does not refresh data or execute a new call.
