/api/v1/on-chain/{asset}/metric/{metric}Hobbyist tier+ · 30 req/minEdge-cacheable variant of /on-chain/{asset} series mode — metric in the path.
The 'ergonomic' variant of `/api/v1/on-chain/{asset}?metric=…`. Putting the metric in the path makes this trivially cacheable at the edge (no varying query string to normalise) and yields a cleaner URL for doc / changelog embedding. Body shape is 1:1 with the query-based route's series-mode response. Empty series is a valid 200 for a metric we haven't ingested for this asset.
