<p>It returns a CSV file with the format:<code>unixtime,price,amount</code>. </p>

<p>Bitcoincharts recently retricted the download for latest 20000 trades, it basically represents only two days of tick data. </p>

<p>Guys, if you have downloaded it before the restriction, would you mind sharing those past tick data? It would help me a lot.
Thanks!</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong></p>

<p>As promised, I'm sharing the way how I downloaded all historical trade-by-trade data from MtGox. Firstly, register at BigQuerry cloud database, at this time only download of 16k rows of data is enabled. Secondly go to bitbucket.org/nitrous/bq and download the software which automatize the data download. The whole database took approx one hour to download. Everything is free, no charges. Enjoy!</p>

You can get it at [Bitcoincharts](http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/):

```
http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=SYMBOL[&start=UNIXTIME][&end=UNIXTIME]

```

It returns a CSV file with the format:`unixtime,price,amount`.

For example, you can use this link to get the MtGox prices since August:

```
http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=mtgoxUSD&start=1312174800
