Data Feeds API Reference

When you use data feeds, retrieve the feeds through the AggregatorV3Interface and the proxy address. Optionally, you can call variables and functions in the AccessControlledOffchainAggregator contract to get information about the aggregator behind the proxy.

AggregatorV3Interface

Import this interface to your contract and use it to run functions in the proxy contract. Create the interface object by pointing to the proxy address. For example, on Sepolia you could create the interface object in the constructor of your contract using the following example:

/**
 * Network: Sepolia
 * Data Feed: ETH/USD
 * Address: 0x694AA1769357215DE4FAC081bf1f309aDC325306
 */
constructor() {
  priceFeed = AggregatorV3Interface(0x694AA1769357215DE4FAC081bf1f309aDC325306);
}

To see examples for how to use this interface, read the Using Data Feeds guide.

You can see the code for the AggregatorV3Interface contract on GitHub.

Functions in AggregatorV3Interface

decimals

Get the number of decimals present in the response value.

function decimals() external view returns (uint8);

• RETURN: The number of decimals.

description

Get the description of the underlying aggregator that the proxy points to.

function description() external view returns (string memory);

• RETURN: The description of the underlying aggregator.

getRoundData

Get data about a specific round, using the roundId.

function getRoundData(
  uint80 _roundId
) external view returns (uint80 roundId, int256 answer, uint256 startedAt, uint256 updatedAt, uint80 answeredInRound);

Parameters:

• _roundId: The round ID

Return values:

• roundId: The round ID
• answer: The answer for this round
• startedAt: Timestamp of when the round started
• updatedAt: Timestamp of when the round was updated
• answeredInRound: Deprecated - Previously used when answers could take multiple rounds to be computed

latestRoundData

Get the data from the latest round.

function latestRoundData() external view
    returns (
        uint80 roundId,
        int256 answer,
        uint256 startedAt,
        uint256 updatedAt,
        uint80 answeredInRound
    )

Return values:

• roundId: The round ID.
• answer: The data that this specific feed provides. Depending on the feed you selected, this answer provides asset prices, reserves, and other types of data.
• startedAt: Timestamp of when the round started.
• updatedAt: Timestamp of when the round was updated.
• answeredInRound: Deprecated - Previously used when answers could take multiple rounds to be computed

version

The version representing the type of aggregator the proxy points to.

function version() external view returns (uint256)

• RETURN: The version number.

AccessControlledOffchainAggregator

This is the contract for the aggregator. You can call functions on the aggregator directly, but it is a best practice to use the AggregatorV3Interface to run functions on the proxy instead so that changes to the aggregator do not affect your application. Read the aggregator contract only if you need functions that are not available in the proxy.

The aggregator contract has several variables and functions that might be useful for your application. Although aggregator contracts are similar for each data feed, some aggregators have different variables. Use the typeAndVersion() function on the aggregator to identify what type of aggregator it is and what version it is running.

Always check the contract source code and configuration to understand how specific data feeds operate. For example, the aggregator contract for BTC/USD on Arbitrum is different from the aggregators on other networks.

For examples of the contracts that are typically used in aggregator deployments, see the libocr repository on GitHub.

Variables and functions in AccessControlledOffchainAggregator

This contract imports OffchainAggregator and SimpleReadAccessController, which also include their own imports. The variables and functions lists include the publicly accessible items from these imported contracts.

A simple way to read the variables or functions is to get the ABI from a blockchain explorer and point the ABI to the aggregator address. To do this in Remix, follow the Using the ABI with AtAddress guide in the Remix documentation. As an example, you can find the ABI for the BTC/USD aggregator by viewing the contract code in Etherscan.
