People on the DigitalBits network can make offers to buy or sell assets. These offers are summarized by the assets being bought and sold in orderbooks.

Frontier will return, for each orderbook, a summary of the orderbook and the bids and asks associated with that orderbook.

This endpoint can also be used in streaming mode so it is possible to use it to listen as offers are processed in the DigitalBits network. If called in streaming mode Frontier will start at the earliest known offer unless a cursor is set. In that case it will start from the cursor. You can also set cursor value to now to only stream offers created since your request time.
