What One Catalog Returns
Why Teams Choose 0xArchive
0xArchive exports come back as Parquet with ZSTD compression, keyed to explicit schemas and UTC ranges so coverage, cost, and warehouse partitioning stay reproducible. The Data Catalog keeps the buyer in the browser product flow while the docs keep the file contract distinct from JSON API responses. Schema keys stay separate, sol2_orderbook, l3_orderbook, l4_orderbook, l4_orders, trades, funding, oi, and liquidations never collapse into one namespace, and neither do Hyperliquid core, Spot, HIP-3, HIP-4, and Lighter.
Lighter funding records are exportable where the catalog offers that schema, but currently served values must not be compared across venues or annualized pending normalization repair.
Start from /data for the Data Catalog workflow. Use https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/symbols for machine-readable market discovery: the response has a top-level symbols array with rows that carry exchange, symbol, slug, data_types, and coverage fields. It tells a buyer which markets, schema data types, coverage windows, size estimates, active or delisted state, and HIP-4 outcome metadata are available before a single credit is spent.
Venues outside Hyperliquid and Lighter, and workflows that need live streaming rather than bounded files, fall outside this export path.
