Request Hyperliquid hourly candles from the first day they are stored

One request, one time window, two hourly BTC candles starting at 12:00 UTC on 22 March 2025. Run on 3 November 2026:

curl -H "X-API-Key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/hyperliquid/candles/BTC?interval=1h&start=2025-03-22T12:00:00Z&end=2025-03-22T15:00:00Z&limit=2"

Response (first rows):

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "timestamp": "2025-03-22T12:00:00Z",
      "open": 84209.0,
      "high": 84275.0,
      "low": 84140.0,
      "close": 84195.0,
      "volume": 422.11216,
      "trade_count": 4000
    },
    {
      "timestamp": "2025-03-22T13:00:00Z",
      "open": 84195.0,
      "high": 84201.0,
      "low": 84017.0,
      "close": 84136.0,
      "volume": 305.695,

    }
  ],
  "meta": {
    "count": 2,
    "symbol": "BTC",
    "venue": "hyperliquid"
  }
}

Each candle carries trade_count, which TikTape's documented response ([timestamp_ms, open, high, low, close, volume]) does not list. The Free plan covers the last 30 days; requests older than that need the Build plan ($49 a month, $39 billed annually).
