# Funding, Open Interest, And Candles Routes

> Use 0xArchive funding, current funding, open-interest, current OI, and candle routes by venue family.

Funding, open interest, and candles are compact series, but they still need venue family, symbol, coverage, and timestamp discipline. Do not assume one family supports all three for every market, and do not treat current values, historical pages, and candle intervals as interchangeable records.

## Route Families

| Need                     | Start with                                                  |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Hyperliquid core candles | `/v1/hyperliquid/candles/{symbol}`                          |
| Hyperliquid core funding | `/v1/hyperliquid/funding/{symbol}` and `/current`           |
| Hyperliquid core OI      | `/v1/hyperliquid/openinterest/{symbol}` and `/current`      |
| Hyperliquid Spot candles | `/v1/hyperliquid/spot/candles/{symbol}`                     |
| HIP-3 candles            | `/v1/hyperliquid/hip3/candles/{symbol}`                     |
| HIP-3 funding            | `/v1/hyperliquid/hip3/funding/{symbol}` and `/current`      |
| HIP-3 OI                 | `/v1/hyperliquid/hip3/openinterest/{symbol}` and `/current` |
| HIP-4 candles            | `/v1/hyperliquid/hip4/candles/{symbol}`                     |
| HIP-4 OI                 | `/v1/hyperliquid/hip4/openinterest/{symbol}` and `/current` |
| Lighter candles          | `/v1/lighter/candles/{symbol}`                              |
| Lighter funding          | `/v1/lighter/funding/{symbol}` and `/current`               |
| Lighter OI               | `/v1/lighter/openinterest/{symbol}` and `/current`          |

## Field Rules

Funding rates, premiums, open interest, mark prices, oracle prices, and candle values should be handled with decimal-safe parsing when precision matters. HIP-4 price fields are probability-like. Store venue family and symbol with every series so downstream joins do not mix core perps, Spot, HIP-3, HIP-4, and Lighter.

For dashboards and backtests, store the route path and interval next to the value. A candle interval, current funding record, and historical funding page can share symbol text while carrying different time semantics.

## Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the series">
    Decide whether the job needs funding, current funding, OI, current OI, or candles.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Probe one window">
    Pull one symbol and small window before widening across markets or history.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check freshness and incidents">
    Use data-quality routes before the series feeds alerts, dashboards, backtests, exports, or models.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Store time semantics">
    Keep route, interval, timestamp, window, request ID, and data-quality decision with output.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Evaluation Fit

These routes are usually the first place a research workflow leaves raw events and enters feature engineering. Keep the series easy to review: decimal-safe parsing, explicit interval labels, no silent backfills, and a stored data-quality result for the window.

## Next Step

Use [Historical Market Data](/guides/historical-market-data) for long windows, [Point-In-Time Backtesting](/guides/point-in-time-backtesting) for model-safe joins, [Example Responses](/response-examples) for payload shapes, or [Data Quality](/data-quality) before alerts and dashboards.
