Candles - 0xArchive

Response fields

Candle values are numbers, not decimal strings.

Field	Type	Description
`timestamp`	string	Candle start time (ISO 8601 UTC)
`open`	number	Opening price
`high`	number	Highest price in the interval
`low`	number	Lowest price in the interval
`close`	number	Closing price
`volume`	number	Volume in the base asset
`quote_volume`	number	Volume in the quote asset (USD)
`trade_count`	integer	Number of trades in the interval

Gaps and intervals

Pick the largest interval that still answers the question; finer candles return more rows and more requests. A missing bar is not a zero bar, so confirm coverage on Data Quality before a long historical pull, and treat a gap as a window to narrow or rebuild rather than fill. volume is in the base asset and quote_volume is in USD, so use quote_volume when comparing activity across symbols that trade at very different prices.

Stream it live

Only Lighter streams candles, on lighter_candles. Hyperliquid core, Spot, HIP-3, and HIP-4 have no candle channel: stream Trades and aggregate to your interval, or poll the REST route above.

ws.send(JSON.stringify({ op: "subscribe", channel: "lighter_candles", symbol: "BTC" }));

Connection and reconnect handling live in the WebSocket tab; see WebSocket Channels for the family matrix.

Export in bulk

Candles have no standalone export schema. For file-based history, export Trades with the trades schema and aggregate to candles downstream, or keep candle pulls on REST. Export schema details are on Export Schemas.

Use Trades for the raw tape, Open interest for positioning, or Point-in-time backtesting to keep a candle pull reproducible.
