/v1/hyperliquid/orderbook/{symbol}/history for native 20-level Hyperliquid history or /v1/hyperliquid/orderbook/{symbol}/l2/history for full-depth L2 checkpoint history. Use /v1/lighter/orderbook/{symbol}/history for Lighter. Get historical deprecated compatibility order book snapshots within a time range. Historical windows use start and end Unix-millisecond query parameters. This Hyperliquid compatibility route is capped at 20 levels per side.
