# Lighter Historical Data API | 0xArchive
Run Lighter historical market data for order books, L3 depth, trades, funding, open interest, candles, replay, and exports.
## Lighter Is Its Own Venue API

0xArchive treats **Lighter.xyz** as its own top-level venue, not a Hyperliquid add-on. Lighter routes live under `/v1/lighter/*`, so Lighter symbols, depth semantics, and exports stay separate from Hyperliquid core, Spot, HIP-3, and HIP-4. If you already use our Hyperliquid routes the shape is familiar; only the namespace changes.

## What's covered

- **Order books** - L2 price-level depth and L3 individual-order depth, tick-level.
- **Trades** - complete, gapless public route history from 2025-08-27; more than 1.8 billion fills.
- **Funding and open interest** - full time-series market state.
- **Candles** - OHLCV history at supported intervals.
- **Replay and exports** - WebSocket replay and Data Catalog Parquet files.

Lighter coverage runs across 200+ markets, with trade history available from August 2025 and first public route rows on 2025-08-27. L3 order-level history starts March 2026; live counts are on the status page.

## Why a separate venue

Lighter gives cross-venue desks a second 24/7 book to test against Hyperliquid. Keep it in its own route family when you compare depth, trades, funding, or replay windows across the two venues, so a Lighter L3 route never gets mistaken for a Hyperliquid L4 one.

## Run one route

Confirm auth and the envelope on one bounded request, then widen the window:

```
# Current Lighter order book
curl "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/lighter/orderbook/BTC?depth=100" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY"

# Historical Lighter order book
curl "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/lighter/orderbook/BTC/history?start=1756252800000&end=1756339200000&granularity=10s" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY"

# Lighter trades
curl "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/lighter/trades/ETH?start=1756252800000&end=1756339200000" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY"
```

## Granularity options

For Lighter order-book history, choose your resolution:

- **checkpoint** - ~60 second intervals (default)
- **30s** - 30 second intervals
- **10s** - 10 second intervals
- **1s** - 1 second intervals
- **tick** - raw checkpoint plus deltas

## Export path

For files, use the Data Catalog: pick the Lighter market, schemas, and UTC range, then check out.
