# ITickLens

Provides functions for fetching chunks of tick data for a pool

This avoids the waterfall of fetching the tick bitmap, parsing the bitmap to know which ticks to fetch, and then sending additional multicalls to fetch the tick data

```solidity
  function getPopulatedTicksInWord(
    address pool,
    int16 tickBitmapIndex
  ) external returns (struct ITickLens.PopulatedTick[] populatedTicks)
```

Get all the tick data for the populated ticks from a word of the tick bitmap of a pool
