What is PriceStatus for/do I still need it?

Found PriceStatus being mentioned here:

src/index.ts

f37e2d94d


      
          import { readBigInt64LE, readBigUInt64LE } from './readBig'
          
          /** Constants. This section must be kept in sync with the on-chain program. */
          
          export const Magic = 0xa1b2c3d4
          export const Version2 = 2
          export const Version = Version2
          /** Number of slots that can pass before a publisher's price is no longer included in the aggregate. */
          export const MAX_SLOT_DIFFERENCE = 25
          
          export enum PriceStatus {
            Unknown,
            Trading,
            Halted,
            Auction,
            Ignored,
          }
          
          export enum CorpAction {
            NoCorpAct,
          }

Is it still in use? If I use it for my onchain program, is get_price_no_older_than() sufficient or do I need to check the price status as well?

As you are interested in getting price data onchain , follow this for your smart contract
https://docs.pyth.network/price-feeds/use-real-time-data/evm#write-contract-code

It uses getPriceNoOlderThan as you mentioned.

I hope this helps.

That’s an internal field for the oracle accounts itself and shouldn’t be used outside of that. the getPrice* methods all return the latest trading price.
