Buy and read your first export
One day of BTC trades, from checkout to rows in Python.
What you get
Each order is a set of files for the markets and data types you chose.- One Parquet file per market and data type, compressed with zstd and covering your whole date range. Files are named
<symbol>_<data type>_<start>_to_<end>.parquet, for exampleBTC_trades_2026-10-01_to_2026-10-01.parquet. - Snapshot files for order books that need a starting state. An L4 order book export adds checkpoint files with complete book states, one file for every seven days of your range. A Lighter L2 order book export adds a file of full-book snapshots beside the file of price-level changes.
- A
README.mdthat lists every file with its size and documents each column with its type and meaning. - Metadata inside every file: the exchange, symbol, data type, date range, export time, order ID, and license, plus a description of each column.
exchange metadata.
The data types are L2 order book, L3 individual orders, L4 order-level book, L4 order events, trades, funding, open interest, and liquidations. Which ones a market offers depends on its venue. Export schemas lists where each one is available, and File columns gives the exact columns of every file.
When to use exports
You buy exports in the Data Catalog, signed in to your 0xArchive account. Ordering exports is not part of the public REST API. For recurring or scheduled file delivery, see Enterprise delivery.
How buying works
- Choose. In the Data Catalog, open a market’s catalog page, select its data types, and pick UTC dates with a preset (30D, 90D, 1Y, All) or a custom range.
- Check the quote. The quote shows the size, rows, and price of your selection before you pay. Prices are per GB for each data type, with minimums; rates, discounts, and a worked example are under Pricing.
- Pay. Export credits apply first, and any remainder is paid by card through Stripe. When credits cover the whole order, there is no card step. Paid plans include monthly export credits; see pricing.
How delivery works
After payment, the order has its own order page in your dashboard. It moves from Queued to Processing to Ready to Download, and you get an email when the files are ready. Small orders are usually ready in a minute or two.- Download links last 7 days. Open the order page again for fresh links.
- Downloads are available for 30 days after the export completes. Save the files before then.
- To notify your own systems, subscribe a webhook to the
export.job.completedandexport.job.failedevents. See Webhook Alerts. - If an export fails, no file is produced. Export credits it used return to your balance automatically. For a card payment, contact support.
Coverage
Exports read the same archive as the REST API, and each market and data type has its own first day.- The Data Catalog shows the first available date for each data type and only offers dates inside coverage. When you select several data types for a market, the range starts at the latest of their first days.
- Trades exports for Hyperliquid perpetuals and Hyperliquid Spot start on 2025-03-22. Hyperliquid perpetual trade history before that date is incomplete, so it is not sold as files.
- Liquidations exports for Hyperliquid perpetuals start on 2025-12-22.
- A range that ends today holds the rows received up to the moment the export is built. Lighter trades exports end at the last finalized trade.
