0xArchive API Skill

Query historical and real-time crypto market data from 0xArchive using curl. Three exchanges are supported: Hyperliquid (perps DEX), Lighter.xyz (order-book DEX), and HIP-3 (Hyperliquid builder perps). Data types: orderbooks, trades, candles, funding rates, open interest, liquidations, and data quality metrics.

Authentication

All endpoints require the x-api-key header. The key is read from $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY.

curl -s -H "x-api-key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY" "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/..."

Exchanges & Coin Naming

Exchange	Path prefix	Coin format	Examples
Hyperliquid	`/v1/hyperliquid`	UPPERCASE	`BTC`, `ETH`, `SOL`
HIP-3	`/v1/hyperliquid/hip3`	Case-sensitive, `prefix:NAME`	`km:US500`, `xyz:XYZ100`
Lighter	`/v1/lighter`	UPPERCASE	`BTC`, `ETH`

Hyperliquid and Lighter auto-uppercase the symbol server-side. HIP-3 coin names are passed through as-is.

Timestamps

All timestamps are Unix milliseconds. Use these shell helpers:

NOW=$(( $(date +%s) * 1000 ))
HOUR_AGO=$(( NOW - 3600000 ))
DAY_AGO=$(( NOW - 86400000 ))
WEEK_AGO=$(( NOW - 604800000 ))

Response Format

Every response follows this shape:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [ ... ],
  "meta": {
    "count": 100,
    "request_id": "uuid",
    "next_cursor": "1706000000000"   // present when more pages exist
  }
}

Web3 Authentication (`/v1`)

Get API keys programmatically using an Ethereum wallet (SIWE). No API key required for these endpoints.

Endpoint	Params	Notes
`POST /auth/web3/challenge`	`address` (wallet address)	Returns SIWE message to sign
`POST /web3/signup`	`message`, `signature`	Returns free-tier API key
`POST /web3/keys`	`message`, `signature`	List all keys for wallet
`POST /web3/keys/revoke`	`message`, `signature`, `key_id`	Revoke a key
`POST /web3/subscribe`	`tier` (`build` or `pro`), `payment-signature` header	x402 USDC subscription (see flow below)

Free-tier flow: Call /auth/web3/challenge with wallet address → sign the returned message with personal_sign (EIP-191) → submit to /web3/signup with the message and signature → receive API key.

Paid-tier flow (x402):

POST /web3/subscribe with { "tier": "build" } → server returns 402 with payment.amount (micro-USDC), payment.pay_to (treasury address), payment.network.
Sign an EIP-712 TransferWithAuthorization (EIP-3009) on USDC Base:
- Domain: { name: "USD Coin", version: "2", chainId: 8453, verifyingContract: "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913" }
- Type: TransferWithAuthorization(address from, address to, uint256 value, uint256 validAfter, uint256 validBefore, bytes32 nonce)
- Message: { from: <wallet>, to: <pay_to>, value: <amount>, validAfter: 0, validBefore: <now+3600>, nonce: <32 random bytes hex> }

Build x402 v2 payment payload:

{
  "x402Version": 2,
  "payload": {
    "signature": "0x<EIP-712 signature hex>",
    "authorization": {
      "from": "0x<wallet>",
      "to": "0x<pay_to from step 1>",
      "value": "<amount as string>",
      "validAfter": "0",
      "validBefore": "<unix timestamp as string>",
      "nonce": "0x<64 hex chars>"
    }
  }
}

Base64-encode the JSON and retry: POST /web3/subscribe with { "tier": "build" } and header payment-signature: <base64 payload> → receive API key + subscription.

Important: All authorization values (value, validAfter, validBefore) must be strings, not numbers. See scripts/web3_subscribe.py for a complete working Python implementation.

Common Parameters

Param	Type	Description
`start`	int	Start timestamp (Unix ms). Defaults to 24h ago.
`end`	int	End timestamp (Unix ms). Defaults to now.
`limit`	int	Max records. Default 100, max 1000 (max 10000 for candles).
`cursor`	string	Pagination cursor from `meta.next_cursor`.
`interval`	string	Candle interval: `1m`, `5m`, `15m`, `30m`, `1h`, `4h`, `1d`, `1w`. Default: `1h`. For OI/funding: `5m`, `15m`, `30m`, `1h`, `4h`, `1d`. Omit for raw data.
`depth`	int	Orderbook depth (number of price levels per side).
`granularity`	string	Lighter orderbook resolution: `checkpoint` (default), `30s`, `10s`, `1s`, `tick`.

Smart Defaults

When the user does not specify a time range, default to the last 24 hours:

NOW=$(( $(date +%s) * 1000 ))
DAY_AGO=$(( NOW - 86400000 ))

For candles with no explicit range, default to a range that makes sense for the interval (e.g., last 7 days for 4h candles, last 30 days for 1d candles).

Pagination

When meta.next_cursor is present in the response, more data is available. Append &cursor=VALUE to fetch the next page:

# First page
curl -s -H "x-api-key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/hyperliquid/trades/BTC?start=$START&end=$END&limit=1000"

# Next page (use next_cursor from previous response)
curl -s -H "x-api-key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/hyperliquid/trades/BTC?start=$START&end=$END&limit=1000&cursor=1706000000000_12345"

Tier Limits

Tier	Price	Coins	Orderbook Depth	Lighter Granularity	Historical Depth	Rate Limit
Free	$0	BTC only (HIP-3: km:US500 only)	20 levels	--	30 days	15 RPS
Build	$49/mo	All	50 levels	checkpoint, 30s, 10s	1 year	50 RPS
Pro	$199/mo	All	100 levels	+ 1s	Full history	150 RPS
Enterprise	Custom	All	Full depth	+ tick	Full history	Custom

Error Handling

HTTP Status	Meaning	Action
400	Bad request / validation error	Check params (missing start/end, invalid interval)
401	Missing or invalid API key	Set `$OXARCHIVE_API_KEY`
403	Tier restriction	Upgrade plan (e.g., non-BTC coin on Free tier)
404	Symbol not found	Check coin name spelling and exchange
429	Rate limited	Back off and retry

Error responses return { "code": 400, "error": "description" }.
