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

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
  }
}

Endpoint Reference

Hyperliquid (/v1/hyperliquid)

HIP-3 (/v1/hyperliquid/hip3)

Coin names are case-sensitive (e.g., km:US500). Free tier includes km:US500 for orderbook and orderbook history; Build+ unlocks all HIP-3 symbols.

Lighter (/v1/lighter)

Same data types as Hyperliquid except: no liquidations. Adds granularity on orderbook history and /recent trades.

Data Quality (/v1/data-quality)

WebSocket Channels

Additional real-time channels available via WebSocket (wss://api.0xarchive.io/ws?apiKey=KEY):

Web3 Authentication (/v1)

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

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):

1. POST /web3/subscribe with { "tier": "build" } → server returns 402 with payment.amount (micro-USDC), payment.pay_to (treasury address), payment.network.
2. 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: \x3Cwallet>, to: \x3Cpay_to>, value: \x3Camount>, validAfter: 0, validBefore: \x3Cnow+3600>, nonce: \x3C32 random bytes hex> }
3. Build x402 v2 payment payload:

   {
     "x402Version": 2,
     "payload": {
       "signature": "0x\x3CEIP-712 signature hex>",
       "authorization": {
         "from": "0x\x3Cwallet>",
         "to": "0x\x3Cpay_to from step 1>",
         "value": "\x3Camount as string>",
         "validAfter": "0",
         "validBefore": "\x3Cunix timestamp as string>",
         "nonce": "0x\x3C64 hex chars>"
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Base64-encode the JSON and retry: POST /web3/subscribe with { "tier": "build" } and header payment-signature: \x3Cbase64 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

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).

Trade Response Fields

Each trade/fill record includes:

builder_address, builder_fee, deployer_fee, priority_gas, cloid, and twap_id are optional — only present when non-zero/non-empty. deployer_fee is specific to HIP-3. priority_gas appears on any order that paid for write priority (most common on HIP-3 IOC orders).

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"

Error Handling

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