0xArchive comparison · Data providers
This page compares eight providers that sell Hyperliquid market data through an API: 0xArchive, Tardis.dev, CoinAPI, Kaiko, Dwellir, Hydromancer, GoldRush and QuickNode. Of these, 0xArchive and Tardis document Lighter history too. They differ most on three things: how far back the history goes, whether the book comes as price levels or as single orders with wallets, and how you get the data.
Every fact below comes from the provider's own documentation, pricing page or public API, checked on 24 October 2026. Coverage changes fast, so each table says when a provider does not state something rather than guessing.
Hyperliquid history starts in 2023, 2024 or 2025 depending on the provider
| Provider | Hyperliquid history from | Lighter history from |
|---|---|---|
| 0xArchive | Book 15 Apr 2023, complete trades 22 Mar 2025 | Trades 17 Jan 2025, book 29 Jan 2026 |
| CoinAPI | 27 Sep 2024 | Not stated |
| Tardis.dev | 29 Oct 2024 | 17 Apr 2026 |
| Dwellir | Node archive 25 Jan 2025 | Not stated |
| GoldRush | 25 May 2025 | Not stated |
| Hydromancer | Free archive 28 Jul 2025 | Not stated |
| Kaiko | Trades 4 Dec 2025 | Not in its exchange list |
| QuickNode | Not stated | Not stated |
The dates are each provider's earliest stated start, and most vary by market and data type. 0xArchive keeps Hyperliquid trades from April 2023 too, but they are partial before 22 March 2025, so the table gives the complete date.
Order-level Hyperliquid books are common live and rarer as stored history
A price-level book (L2) tells you there are 40 BTC bid at a price. An order-level book (L4 on Hyperliquid, L3 on Lighter) tells you it is twelve orders, and on Hyperliquid which wallet placed each one. Live order-level feeds are now common. Stored history of them is not, and its start date is the number to compare.
| Provider | Order-level book | Stored history from |
|---|---|---|
| 0xArchive | L4 with wallets, plus Lighter L3 | 10 Mar 2026, Lighter 5 Mar 2026 |
| Dwellir | L4 with wallets | Raw diffs 22 Jan 2026, snapshots 14 Apr 2026 |
| CoinAPI | L4 with wallets | Hourly files 9 Jun 2026, older files undated |
| QuickNode | L4 stream, order diffs in SQL | Not stated |
| Hydromancer | L4 with wallets, live | Not stated |
| GoldRush | L4 with wallets, live | Not stated |
| Tardis.dev | None, price levels only | Not applicable |
| Kaiko | Not stated | Not stated |
Dwellir's raw order diffs start earlier than 0xArchive's L4, and you rebuild the book from them yourself; its queryable historical book API is listed as coming soon. 0xArchive serves the rebuilt book by timestamp. Of the eight providers here, 0xArchive is the one whose documentation lists an order-level book for Lighter.
Delivery runs from free S3 files to custom contracts
| Provider | How you get it | Entry price, 24 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| 0xArchive | REST, WebSocket replay, Parquet, MCP | Free for 30 days of history, Build $49 a month |
| Tardis.dev | CSV files, HTTP API, local replay | Perpetuals plan from $350 a month |
| CoinAPI | REST, WebSocket, FIX, S3 files, MCP | Pay as you go, plans from $79 a month |
| Kaiko | API, CSV, streaming, Snowflake | Custom quote |
| Dwellir | WebSocket, gRPC replay, S3 files | Free API plan, gRPC $299 a month |
| Hydromancer | REST, WebSocket, free S3 archive | Archive free, API from $300 a month |
| GoldRush | REST, WebSocket, warehouse streams | Trial free, plans from $10 a month |
| QuickNode | REST, gRPC, SQL, Streams | Book streams from $49 a month |
Usage charges sit on top of several of these plans, and history depth can depend on the billing term. Tardis, for example, includes four months of history on monthly billing and four years on yearly.
Which provider fits which job
| Your job | Strong fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Backtest on Hyperliquid books since 2023 | 0xArchive | Book history from April 2023 |
| Order-level research on both venues | 0xArchive | Hyperliquid L4 and Lighter L3 stored |
| Hyperliquid next to 50+ other exchanges | Tardis.dev or CoinAPI | One schema across venues |
| Raw node data to rebuild yourself | Dwellir or Hyperliquid's own S3 | Raw node files to rebuild from |
| Free Hyperliquid snapshots, no support | Hydromancer's archive | Free, 20 levels each minute |
| Wallet flows next to market data | GoldRush or QuickNode | Fills, ledgers and SQL tables |
| Institutional contract, many venues | Kaiko | Enterprise terms |
Hyperliquid and Lighter publish raw history of their own
Hyperliquid puts L2 snapshots and node fills in requester-pays S3 buckets, uploaded about once a month, and its docs warn: “There is no guarantee of timely updates and data may be missing.” Lighter publishes every trade since its 17 January 2025 launch and hourly open interest as Parquet files.
Both are raw material: free or close to it, and yours to download, parse and keep current. The native API comparison covers what each venue's own API keeps.
Each provider compared one to one
Amberdata, Allium, Laevitas and Glassnode also list Hyperliquid data on their own sites, and Allium lists Lighter. The single-provider pages go deeper on coverage, price and fit: Tardis, CoinAPI, Kaiko, Dwellir, Hydromancer, GoldRush and QuickNode. For backtesting specifically, see market data APIs for backtesting.
