Choose the venue family, namespace, and symbol style before generating requests. Route families are not interchangeable: Lighter symbols and routes stay under /v1/lighter/*, and HIP-3 and HIP-4 are Hyperliquid-scoped families, not separate top-level venues. 0xArchive exposes two top-level venue APIs: Hyperliquid and Lighter.xyz. Hyperliquid core perps, Hyperliquid Spot, HIP-3, and HIP-4 are separate Hyperliquid-scoped market families. Lighter routes stay under /v1/lighter/*.

What we cover by venue

One API, five venue families. This grid shows which data type each family serves; on every data-type page, venue is a switch. Coverage windows (how far back) are in the next section.

Order books are L2 on every venue, with L4 order-level depth on the Hyperliquid families (core, Spot, HIP-3, HIP-4) and L3 individual-order depth on Lighter. Each cell is available over REST; most also stream over WebSocket and ship as bulk exports, and each data-type page lists which access methods apply.

Coverage and history

How far back each data type goes is below; every window runs from its listed start to the present and updates continuously. Hyperliquid order books run to April 2023; Lighter to January 2026 at tick level, with an order-level L3 book from March 2026. For the current symbol list and live data-quality, use /v1/symbols, /v1/status/coverage, and the data-quality coverage and freshness routes. See Data quality.

On Hyperliquid, order books are reconstructed to roughly 1.2-second snapshots; Lighter is tick-level. Check a specific market’s current status and gaps with the coverage and freshness routes before a backtest.

Decision Order

1

Choose top-level venue

Start with Hyperliquid or Lighter.xyz. Lighter routes never live under the Hyperliquid namespace.
2

Choose Hyperliquid family

For Hyperliquid, separate core perps, Spot pairs, HIP-3 builder perps, and HIP-4 outcome markets before choosing a route.
3

Keep symbol style intact

Preserve plain perp symbols, Spot pair symbols, builder prefixes, and HIP-4 side identifiers in requests, logs, and storage.

Route Selection Checklist

Confirm these fields before generating routes, examples, or agent commands.

Choosing Correctly

Start here for BTC, ETH, and other core Hyperliquid perp markets. Use route families for order books, trades, candles, funding, open interest, liquidations, orders, and L4 depth where your plan allows it.
Spot routes use pair symbols such as HYPE-USDC under /v1/hyperliquid/spot. Do not mix Spot pair routes with core perp, HIP-3, HIP-4, or Lighter routes.
HIP-3 symbols stay under the Hyperliquid namespace. Keep the builder prefix when you call routes, for example km:US500.
HIP-4 mark_price and mid_price values represent implied probability in the [0, 1] range, not a USD price. Outcome-market sides can use numeric identifiers and # forms.
Lighter is a separate top-level venue family. Do not route Lighter symbols through the Hyperliquid namespace.
